DESCRIPTION

This command allows a user to globally mount some plugins that will be part of every interaction with the global keydatabase.

This command writes into the /etc directory and as such it requires root permissions. Use kdb file system/elektra/globalplugins to find out where exactly it will write to.

OPTIONS

• -H, --help: Show the man page.
• -V, --version: Print version info.
• -p, --profile <profile>: Use a different kdb profile.
• -C, --color <when>: Print never/auto(default)/always colored output.
• -W, --with-recommends: Also add recommended plugins and warn if they are not available.

KDB

• /sw/elektra/kdb/#0/current/plugins/global: It contains a space-separated list of plugins which are added automatically (by default spec). The plugin-configuration syntax is as described above in the synopsis.

EXAMPLES

Trace every interaction with the key database (very noisy!):
kdb global-mount tracer

kdb global-mount syslog dbus
