Koha is the first free software library automation package. The Koha Community http://koha-community.org/ koha-common 8 koha-common Create and manage Koha instances. UNIX/Linux koha-common provides a number of scripts for creating and administering Koha instances. It is meant for sites that provide Koha hosting, and serves several sites from the same host. The following commands are available after when koha-common has been installed. See individual manual pages for each command for optios and other details related to their usage. koha-create Create new Koha instances. koha-disable Disable a Koha instance. koha-enable Enable a Koha instance. New instances are enabled by default. You only need this command if you have previously disabled a site with koha-disable. koha-restore Restore a Koha site from a dump (from koha-dump). koha-dump Dump all contents and configs for a Koha site. koha-run-backups Performs backups of the koha installations on the system, except an instance called 'demo'. koha-remove Remove a Koha instance. koha-dump-defaults Create default contents from an existing Koha site. koha-upgrade-schema Upgrade the DB schema for Koha instances. Done automatically on package upgrades. koha-reset-passwd Reset password for a user in a Koha instance. koha-mysql Provide an interactive mysql shell set up for the specified koha instance. koha-start-zebra Start Zebra for named Koha instances. koha-restart-zebra Restart Zebra for named Koha instances. koha-rebuild-zebra Rebuild the Zebra database for a Koha instance. koha-stop-zebra Stop Zebra for named Koha instances. koha-indexer Manage the indexer daemon for named Koha instances. koha-email-enable Turn on the email for a Koha instance. koha-email-disable Turn off the email for a Koha instance. koha-enable-sip Copies the SIP configuration file to allow SIP to be controlled by init scripts. koha-start-sip Starts the SIP daemon for the specified Koha instances. koha-stop-sip Stops the SIP daemon for the specified Koha instances. koha-upgrade-to-3.4 Performs the necessary changes to upgrade a Koha system from 3.2 to 3.4. If no instance names are provided, this will run it on all of them. koha-create-dirs Create dirs for a Koha instance. koha-list Lists Koha instances, optionally only those that are enabled or have email turned on. koha-foreach Run a command for each Koha instance. Takes the same arguments as koha-list. koha-shell This command behaves something like su(1), but provides you with a shell as the koha user, and with the environment pointing to the right places. The scripts are a bit fragile. If something goes wrong, they do not clean up after themselves.
