Hi Roland, Maybe I can help you understand the process.
Say you want to run owfs, owserver and owhttpd with a USB device and Fahrenheit temperature scale. Purely from the command line you would run: owserver -F -u -p 4304 # reads from USB, serves port 4304 owfs -F -m /var/temp/1wire -s 4304 # reads from owserver, mounts /var/temp/1wire owhttpd -F -s 4304 -p 4444 # reads from owserver, web serves localhost:4444 # notice that only owserver talks directly to the hardware bus master, everything else talks to owserver You could write a configuration file (/etc/owfs.conf) like this: -F !server: -s 4304 server: -u server: -p 4304 owfs: -m /var/temp/1wire owfs: --allow-other owhttpd: -p 4444 The advantage is that all the programs can simply be run with owserver -c /etc/owfs.conf owfs -c /etc/owfs.conf owhttpd -c /etc/owfs.conf Note that many options apply to all ( like -F) Some apply to owserver and some to the all others Some are program-specific Also the name /etc/owfs.conf is conventional, but completely arbitrary. None of the programs look for any file unless explicitly specified. No "magic" files. Often the distribution packages set up a skeleton configuration file, and run all the programs. They usually are pretty well documented.
