mkdb(8) GNATS Admininstration Utilities mkdb(8)NAMEmkdb - create a new GNATS database
SYNOPSISmkdb databasename
DESCRIPTION
Looks up databasename in the GNATS databases file and creates a data‐
base in the location specified there. mkdb creates the directory and
populates it with a set of default files copied from the
/usr/share/gnats/defaults directory.
Note the implications of this: an entry in databases must be created
before mkdb is run.
The command should be run as the GNATS user, by default gnats.
OPTIONS
databasename
Specifies the name of the database to be created.
