ACCDB |
Short for "Account Database". This is one part of Vitalnix,
and in effect, makes up the front end of the core. Simply set, a
collection of functions. |
Backend Module |
Kind of a "driver" (=back end) which speaks to a UDB and
provides unified functions through ACCDB. |
C-spark |
A tool for the batch administration of users. Part of the
Vitalnix User Management Suite. (Could stand for Console version
of a System Program for adding and removing
... what?) Currently is not quite a CUI, but more of a command-line
tool. It may be used in both interactive and non-interactive mode. |
CLI |
Command Line Interface. Term for text-based applications
that run on a tty rather than a display. |
CUI |
Console User Interface. Term for text-based "graphical"
applications that run on a tty. |
UDB |
Short for "User Database", which could be
/etc/passwd, an LDAP, ActiveDirectory or even a specialized
MySQL database. |
Vitalnix |
Vitalnix itself is just a package containing multiple parts:
ACCDB, Backends, C-spark, Supply programs and System programs. |
Vitalnix Supply Programs |
Some progs and shell scripts that might come useful when
working with the Vitalnix Suite (or part thereof). |
Vitalnix System Programs |
Essential tools to work with ACCDB from the command line.
(In case you do not want to write your own program to interface the ACCDB
API.) |
