NAME
checkbox, checkbox-cli, checkbox-gtk - Application for system testing
SYNOPSIS
checkbox [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Checkbox provides tests to confirm that your system is working properly. Once you are finished running the tests, you can view a summary
report for your system.
OPTIONS
- -c config, --config=config
- Configuration override parameters.
- -l file, --log=file
- The file to write the log to.
- --log-level
- One of debug, info, warning, error or critical.
- --version
- Print version information and exit.
- --help Print a usage message briefly summarizing these command-line
- options.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The behavior of checkbox is affected by the following environment variables.
The locale for category LC_foo is specified by examining the three
environment variables LC_ALL, LC_foo, LANG, in that order. The first
of these variables that is set specifies the locale. For example, if
LC_ALL is not set, but LC_MESSAGES is set to pt_BR, then the Brazilian
Portuguese locale is used for the LC_MESSAGES category. The C locale
is used if none of these environment variables are set, if the locale
catalog is not installed.
- CHECKBOX_OPTIONS
- This variable specifies default options to be placed in front of any explicit options. For example, if CHECKBOX_OPTIONS is '--log-level=debug', checkbox behaves as if the option had been specified before any explicit options. Option specifications are separated by whitespace. A backslash escapes the next character, so it can be used to specify an option containing whitespace or a backslash.
- CHECKBOX_DATA
- Specifies the directory containing variable data such as persisting state for example. Some plugins in checkbox might also choose to store their own data under that directory.
- CHECKBOX_SHARE
- This variable specifies the directory containing shared files such as plugins and suites for example. It might also contain static files used by plugins such as data files and scripts.
