💖 FBB(8) 💖

welcome to the glow-up of your very own fbb page, straight out of the System Manager's Manual bestie 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

fbb — the little script that gets the fbb daemon up and running, no cap 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fbb [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so listen. This script? It's the one that starts the daemon. That's its whole job and it eats every time 👑

Here's the vibe check: if the config file for fbb — aka /etc/ax25/fbb.conf — is not there yet, the script is gonna sit you down and ask you for all your configuration details (CALL, SSID, QRA, etc.) plus your port entries. Like, it literally interviews you first. So main character of you.

But if a configuration file is already present? It just skips the whole convo and starts the daemon. Periodt. 💫

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -f — runs fbb in the foreground. It stays right there with you, front and center, not sneaking off into the background 🙈
  • -h — help information! But lowkey there's a catch: this only gets displayed when a valid configuration is present. No valid config, no help, that's just the rules bestie 😭
  • -l <logfile> — logs all the debug info into logfile. Receipts. Keep 'em 📝
  • -s — run fbb silently 🤫 no yapping, just vibes
  • Any other flags? They get passed straight to the daemon. Like, you don't even have to ask, it just forwards them 💌
fr fr, that last one is the whole flex — this script is basically a hype friend that introduces you to the daemon and hands over the aux.
