This linuxconf module provide a generic (simplified) interface between linuxconf and scripting languages. Linuxconf modules may be written using bash for example. While those modules do not provide all the functionalities of a normal C++ linuxconf module, they can nevertheless fit quite well in linuxconf. For example they can -extend the menuing structure of linuxconf -define co-managers (extend some dialogs) -operate in text, html and GUI mode Further, a shellmod script can be used standalone, without Linuxconf. Check out /usr/doc/shellmod to see a few interesting sample shellmod scripts.
