Contents
Castor is mainly used to read in write robot specific configuration files.
Requirements
Castor, as well as all packages that use it require that the environment variable ES_ROOT is set to a valid directory. Robots are identified by the environment variable ROBOT, or, if that is not set, by the hostname of the system.
Castor will therefore look for configuration files in:
- ES_ROOT/etc/ROBOT
- ES_ROOT/etc/hostname
- ES_ROOT/etc
If it cannot find the requested file, an exception will be thrown. Castor aklso allows to read the configuration files of other robots, such that some reasoning with respect to their parameters can be done.
