tkaeca(1)

NAME
tkaeca - GUI interface for aeca, using TCL/TK

SYNOPSIS
tkaeca

DESCRIPTION
The tkaeca command is used to provide a GUI interface to aeca(1). Its use should be self-evident to anyone familiar with Aegis.

The top line of the screen contains button for selecting the project and the change. They will be defaulted whenever possible, using the usual Aegis defaulting rules. Click on the buttons to obtain a pick list if you want to change; then double-click an item to select it. (I would have used tk_optionMenu, but it doesn't have a scroll bar, even when all the items don't fit on the screen.)

The middle section contains text entry areas, for editing the brief_description and description fields of the change attributes. The text wraps in a natural way, both here and in (say) the “tkaeca -list chand details” listing, so only use newlines to indicate end-of-paragraph.

The lower section contains two boxes. The first is the testing required for the change - select as many or as few as is appropriate. The second a set of radio buttons to select the change cause - pick one.

The “OK” and “Cancel” buttons do what you expect. The cancel button simply quits. The OK button runs the aeca(1) command - if anything goes wrong (e.g. asking for testing exemptions you can't have) then the error message will be displayed in the message area at the bottom of the window.

OPTIONS
There are no command line options. It is best to run this command in the background.
