Interactive Mode

When passed the database filename as only argument, trac-admin starts in interactive mode. Commands can then be executed on the selected database using the prompt, which offers tab-completion (on non-Windows environments) and automatic repetition of the last command issued.

A Note on Configuration

For configuration of the Trac environment, Trac 0.7 introduced a new storage format, including a separate config file used for settings. See TracIni for details.
