Modifying the Configuration Files

The following configuration files come with SoftBench CM and are usually maintained by the SoftBench CM administrator. However, each SoftBench CM user can configure the default .fmrc file.

/etc/opt/softbench/config

To configure a specific system differently from the global configuration, you can copy the configuration files into this directory and make the changes you want. The contents of the files in this directory only affect the system on which they reside.
