Plugins

Each individual HC plugin may use one or more (custom) configuration files, depending on what the HC code foresees. Some HC plugins may support a default configuration file which can be identified by following construct in the plugin code:

# ------------------------- CONFIGURATION starts here -------------------------
...
typeset _CONFIG_FILE="${CONFIG_DIR}/$0.conf"
...
# ------------------------- CONFIGURATION ends here ---------------------------

HC plugin configuration are also located in /etc/opt/hc and should carry the name of the HC plugin, e.g.:

# ls -l /etc/opt/hc/*conf
