In Windows check the registry first:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Freenet\inspath
If they didn't use the installer though, there will
be no registry value though (the .zip version of
Freenet). I've found that almost all of them used
the installer though. The default install location
is c:\windows\program files, so people who
didn't use the installer will probably put it there.
After finding where they installed it read the file
flaunch.ini and you'll be able to find the JRE they
used, the port, and location of frequest/finsert.
There is a bug in the current Windows installer
though, beware. If they change ports (not too
common), the values in flaunch.ini and freenet.ini
don't match and so finsert/frequest won't work.
If your app
I think you're wasting your time if you try to check
a zillion places in unix. Since there is only a Debian
installer, you aren't going to find anything by your
magic script most of the time. Maybe doing
'which java' will help, but some people, like me,
have more than one Java installed. Just make *nix
people edit a whateverrc file, save yourself lots
of time IMHO.
Debian stores stuff in these locations (Thanks for
this info, Mr. Bad):
All the config files go in /etc/freenet.
/etc/freenet/freenetrc
/etc/freenet/nodes.config
Log files go in /var/log/freenet. Java jar goes in /usr/share/java
There's an /etc/init.d/freenet and an /etc/logrotate.d/freenet.
Scripts all go in /usr/bin.
data store goes into /var/lib/freenet.
