OpMenu is a python based script for basic Linux system administration.

It follows the Gomenu script guidelines (https://fossies.org/linux/privat/old/OpMenu3.0.tar.gz/index_af.html). 
OpMenu uses .mnu files to build a screen menu that allow to low levels sysadmins and system operators do basic 
and preconfigured actions (f.e. restart a webserver, check the status of a daemon, etc...)

You can find some basic .mnu examples files in the repository. 
All menu options have to begin with $MENU key and all the actions have to contain .sh or sudo command. 
A lot of Gomenu .mnu must be compatibles.

Requirements:

* Python 2.X
* main.mnu file
* python-distutils-extra for Internationalize Language

* Error control
* Improve Look&Feel

LANGUAGE SETUP

Execute script setup_lang.sh to compile languages in your system.

------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

msgfmt po/es_ES.po --output-file /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/opmenu.mo # spanish translation
msgfmt po/gl_ES.po --output-file /usr/share/locale/gl/LC_MESSAGES/opmenu.mo # galician translation
msgfmt po/ca_ES.po --output-file /usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/opmenu.mo # catalan translation

exit
------------------------------

If you want to add a new translation or add/modify texts,  you will have to regenerate the opmenu.pot with the command:

# xgettext --language=Python --keyword=_ --output=po/opmenu.pot --from-code=UTF-8 `find . -name "*.py"`

(Also you can easily add languages with Poedit utility: http://www.poedit.net/)

Save the generated files in the "po" directory and run the following command for the new language.

# msgfmt po/ca_ES.po --output-file /usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/opmenu.mo

You can test language seting LANG environment.

Ex.

# export LANG=gl_ES.UTF-8

??NOTE: To add new texts that you want translate, add it to script with _ ("sample text") syntax.??

=====================

INSTALL NOTES.

Add oper group to sudoers for nonpassword required if user operator is not root.
