Editing LISTSERV Maestro INI Files

The following rules apply to the lui.ini, hub.ini, tracker.ini, and tomcat.ini INI-files, which are the configuration files for the Maestro User Interface, Administration Hub, and Maestro Tracker components. (The my.ini configuration file of the internal MySQL database follows different rules since it’s a third party product. See the MySQL documentation for details.)

•	All INI-files are text files and assumed to be encoded in the default encoding for the platform being used. For most English/European installations that would be ISO-8859-1 [Latin 1 – Western European].

•	In the files, every parameter occupies one line. Each line must be terminated by a line terminator (LF, CR, or CRLF). All lines in the file are processed.

•	A line that contains only white space or whose first non-white space character is an ASCII “#” or “!” is regarded as a comment, and its content is ignored.

•	Every line other than a blank line or a comment line describes one parameter (except if a line ends with a backslash “\”, then the following line, if it exists, is treated as a continuation line, as described below).

•	A parameter always consists of a key and a value. Keys and values are separated by white space or “=” or “:”. Any white space around the separation character is also ignored.

•

All remaining characters on the line become part of the associated value. Some characters which otherwise have special meanings, need to be escaped with a backslash. The ASCII escape sequences “\t”(TAB), “\n”(LF), “\r”(CR), “\\”(backslash), “\"”(quotation mark), “\'”(apostrophe), “\ “(space), and “\uxxxx” (where “xxxx” is the Unicode-value of the required character, expressed in hexadecimal format) are recognized and converted to single characters.

•	In the case that the last character on a line is a “\”, then the next line is treated as a continuation of the current line; the “\” and line terminator is simply discarded, and any leading white space characters on the continuation line are also discarded and are not part of the parameter value.

Note that a space appears before each “\” so that a space will appear after each comma in the final result; the “\”, the line terminator and leading white space on the continuation line are discarded and are not replaced by one or more other characters.

The following table shows all possible entries of the lui.ini file for the Maestro User Interface component. For any entry that is missing in the INI-file, the corresponding default value is assumed. Changes in INI files require a restart of the component to take effect.
