Configuration file settings
Definition
One configuration file is required per Charon instance, it is used to store the necessary parameters to execute the remote shutdown command.
This file is not the configuration file used by Charon to define the virtual machine settings, this is why it is recommended to name it .ini and not .cfg
This file typically has the extension .ini. The file name can be set at your convenience. As good practice, we recommend to include the CHARON instance service name in the configuration file name.
The file can handle blank lines and comments (lines starting with '#').
Do not use simple or double quotes within values.
Parameters and values are case sensitive.
The template.ini file is provided as an example. Copy it, uncomment all necessary lines depending on the selected mode, and fill in the required values.
Configuration details are explained below.
