  The documentation describes how the modules work.  The documentation describes the syntax of the configuration files.

  That's fine.  And no, you don't need to put ====HUGE BARS=== around the quoted text.  We *can* figure it out.

  Read the documentation and examples to see what the *correct* syntax is?  See "man unlang", and look for the documentation on modules.

  i.e. you can't just invent things and expect them to work.

  It also helps to *understand* how the configuration files work.  The documentation does a pretty good job of explaining this.

  As a hint: "swscheck" isn't an attribute, and therefore doesn't belong in an "update" section.

  Again, read the "man unlang" documentation to see what the "update" section does.  Or, read the dozens of examples in the configuration files, which show the same thing.
