convert-config-links

Usage:

usage: ../convert-config-links [-h]

Description:

The problem is that an upgrade installation of remstats will overwrite the config-base directory, but previous installations of remstats created new configuration directories as symlinks to config-base. Some of these files need to be changed and some are commonly changed, specificly:

	alerts alert-destination-map general html links tools

Installing a new version of remstats will overwrite config-base, including these files.

convert-config-links is a conversion tool for upgrading from remstats versions before 1.0A. It will convert the commonly changed config-files from symlinks to copies of the appropriate files from config-base. In remstats versions after 1.0A the new-config program will "Do the Right Thing" (TM) and make copies by itself, so you'll only have to run this once.

If you're installing remstats for the first time, you can ignore this program.
