Title: Install a BIRCH system.

Copyright: Copyright (c) 2005

Company: University of Manitoba

Description: This program calls external scripts to install a new BIRCH system or update an existing one. It can be run as a method from birchconfig.jar, or as a standalone commandline program

Logfile: $BIRCH/install-birch/install.log.

This program must be run from the $BIRCH/install-birch directory.

To avoid accidently clobbering the master copy of BIRCH, this program will stop and print an error message if the userid of the person runing it is 'psgendb'.

Parameters:

-new - do a new BIRCH installation. This option will create a new $BIRCH/local directory by renaming 'local-generic' to 'local'. Without the -new switch, install will update the BIRCH site using settings in $BIRCH/local

Version:

0.1
