As of PTlink Services 3.5.0 the configuration was moved to the database . You can view/edit the configuration by using the ircsvs conf command. Change to the ircsvs bin dir... To get a list of configuration items type: ./ircsvs conf list To edit an item: ./ircsvs conf set item value For string values you must use "value" ./ircsvs conf set item "value" For time items you must specify a number followed by a time char : ./ircsvs conf set item value[mhdMY] There are some optional items which can be unset to disable some functions, for those items you can use: ./ircsvs conf unset item If you want to edit the configuration from a text file and then apply it to the database you can do it by using the conf export command: ./ircsvs conf export > fullconf.sh Later you can apply the config by executing the export file as a script: sh fullconf.sh
