Editing general application settings

Editing general application settings

Root privileges are required to change application settings.

To edit the general application settings:

1. Save the general application settings to the configuration file using the --get-app-settings command:

   kesl-control [-T] --get-app-settings --file <configuration file name>

2. Open the created configuration file, edit the necessary application settings, and save the changes.
3. Import the settings from the configuration file to the application using the --set-app-settings command:

   kesl-control [-T] --set-app-settings --file <configuration file name>

The application will apply the new values of the settings after being restarted.

You can use the created configuration file to import the settings to the application installed on another computer.

The kesl-control --get-app-settings command

The kesl-control --get-app-settings command displays the general application settings. You can also use this command to export the general application settings to a configuration file.
