mkdb(8)
NAME
mkdb - create a new GNATS database
SYNOPSIS
mkdb databasename
DESCRIPTION
Looks up databasename in the GNATS databases file and creates a database in the location specified there. mkdb creates the directory and
populates it with a set of default files copied from the
/usr/share/gnats/defaults directory.
Note the implications of this: an entry in databases must be created
before mkdb is run.
The command should be run as the GNATS user, by default gnats.
OPTIONS
- databasename
- Specifies the name of the database to be created.
