Pump supports a simple configuration file which lets you
tune its behavior. By default, it looks at
/etc/pump.conf, though the -c option lets you
override that.
The configuration file is line oriented, and most line
contains a directive followed by zero or more arguments.
Arguments are handled similar to how shells handle command
arguments, allowing the use of quotes and backslash escapes.
Comments are allowed, and must begin with a # character, and
spaces and tabs are ignored.
Directives may be specified at two levels, global and
specific. Global directives change pump’s behavior for
all of the devices which it manages, while specific
directives change pump’s behavior for a single device.
Later directives always override earlier ones.
Here is an example /etc/pump.conf:
# sample /etc/pump.conf file
domainsearch "my.own.org own.org at.work.com"
retries 3
device eth1 {
nodns
}
This configuration file tells pump to use a specific DNS
search path rather deriving one from the DHCP or BOOTP
server response, to retry each request 3 times (for a total
of 4 tries), and not to change any DNS configuration when
it’s configuring the eth1 device.
Here is a complete list of directives:
