suggestion. To make future upgrades easier we recommend to clone directly from the
GitHub repository.

Run one of the daemons (for example `tsmretriever.pl`) in order to generate

Execute one of the daemons (for example `tsmretriever.pl`) once in order to generate
a sample configuration file. When no configuration is found the ENDIT daemons will
generate a sample file and write it to a random file name shown in the output, and
then exit.

Review the sample configuration, tune it to your needs and copy it to the
location where ENDIT expects to find it (or use the `ENDIT_CONFIG` environment variable, see below).
