SYNOPSIS¶
gnumed [--quiet|debug] [--slave] [--text-domain=TEXTDOMAIN]
[--log-file=FILE] [--conf-file=FILE] [--lang-gettext=LANGUAGE] [--ui=UI-TYPE]
[--override-schema-check] [--local-import] [--help] [--version] [-V] [-h|?]
DESCRIPTION¶
GNUmed is a solution for keeping safe and medically sound electronic
records on a patient's health. It primarily focuses on GP offices. It is
released under the GPL.
GNUmed is written in Python with wxPython/wxWindows. Data is stored in a
PostgreSQL database. Multiple clients can work with the same database at the
same time.
OPTIONS¶
- --quiet
- Be extra quiet and show only _real_ errors in the log.
- --debug
- Pre-set the [debug mode] checkbox in the login dialog which
controls increased verbosity in the log file.
Useful for, well, debugging :-) Slower, too.
- --slave
- Pre-set the [enable remote control] checkbox in the login
dialog to enable the XML-RPC remote control feature.
- --hipaa
- Enable HIPAA features with user workflow impact.
Those features which do not affect the workflow of the user are permanently
enabled.
- --text-domain=TEXTDOMAIN
- Set this to change the name of the language file to be
loaded. Note, this does not change the directory the file is searched in,
only the name of the file where messages are loaded from. The standard
textdomain is, of course, "gnumed.mo". You need only specify the
base name of the file without the .mo extension.
- --log-file=FILE
- Use this to change the name of the log file. The default
log file would be <~/.gnumed/gnumed.log>.
- --conf-file=FILE
- Use configuration file FILE instead of searching for it in
standard locations.
- --lang-gettext=LANGUAGE
- Explicitly set the language to use in gettext translation.
The very same effect can be achieved by setting the environment variable
$LANG from a launcher script.
- --ui=UI-TYPE
- Explicitely set the user interface type. Omitting this
argument will default the interface to wxPython.
Valid values are:
web: CherryPy web client
wxp: wxPython Python client (default)
- --override-schema-check
- Continue loading the client even if the database schema
version and the client software version cannot be verified to be
compatible.
- --skip-update-check
- Skip checking for client updates. This is useful during
development or when the update check URL is unavailable.
- --local-import
- At startup adjust the PYTHONPATH such that the GNUmed
client is run from a local copy of the source tree rather than from a
proper system-wide installation.
- --version, -V
- Show version information about the GNUmed client and the
database it needs.
- --help, -h, or -?
- Well, show this help.
ENVIRONMENT¶
- LANG, LC_MESSAGES, etc.
- See gettext(1) for how the various locale related
environment variables work.
FILES¶
- ~/etc/gnumed/gnumed-client.conf
- The system-wide configuration file.
- ~/.gnumed/gnumed.conf
