      Hi,

      Is there any way to configure lcdproc screen layouts manually from config file? I prefer to have classic lcdproc layout instead of the layouts from pfSense package (lcdproc_client.php).

      Thanks,
      Alie T

        There is no way to actually write the screen data directly (that I know of). You can run the standard lcdproc client and select which screens it will display by running it:

        /usr/local/bin/lcdproc C T U &

            Obviously doing this you could easily break something etc etc.  ::)

            Edit the file: /usr/local/pkg/lcdproc.inc
            Towards the end of the file the rc script is generated. Change the line

            $start .= "\t/usr/bin/nice -20 /usr/local/bin/php -f /usr/local/pkg/lcdproc_client.php &\n";
            

            to

            $start .= "\t/usr/bin/nice -20 /usr/local//bin/lcdproc C T U &\n";
            

            Change C T U for whatever screens you want. Re-sync the package or reboot the box.
