"A thousand ways to sink a cat" I used to hear old timers say ...
I use heaps of configuration files (I prefer to call them "environment" files) for scripts that I create and maintain. They vary from System, Oracle, Tuxedo and script specific requirements, across numerous Oracle instances. Why; purely for ease of use and creating generic scripts that are extremely portable between instances.
An example:
Code:
##-
##- Environment Variables for: [Oracle-SID]
##-
##- GMT OFFSET SETTING -##
US_GMT_OFFSET='-5'
##----------------------##
##- Generic HouseKeeping Environment Variables -##
EMAIL_SUPPORT="support1@support.com,support2@support.com"
HOUSEKEEPING_EML_ADD='housekeeping@domain-name.com'
SMS_ALERT="sms@support.com"
##- A-Customer Specific Environment Variables -##
XXX_IP_DNS="IP-or-DNS-Entry"
XXX_USR1="A-UID-1"
XXX_USR2="A-UID-2"
##- Security Specific Environment Variables -##
SECFILE=/opt/Security/header.txt
DELIMIT=80
##- Variables used in Script: FTPOUT-CFS.sh -##
##- All references must stay as script is shared. -##
FR_EMAIL_SUPPORT="emea-fr-support@domain-name.com"
UK_EMAIL_SUPPORT="emea-uk-support@domain-name.com"
US_EMAIL_SUPPORT="amer-us-support@domain-name.com"
ZZ_EMAIL_SUPPORT="amer-zz-support@domain-name.com"
The example is a cut down sample, but they can be as large or as small as required.
TIP: I'm in the practise of ensuring that UID's and PWD's are kept in separate environment/configuration files if not using SSH/SFTP. I suspect others would do the same too. The above only contains UID's, the PWD's are contained in another environment/configuration file.
Hope that helps some.
Cheers,
Cameron

ftpservers - ftpd virtual hosting configuration specification file
SYNPOSIS DESCRIPTION
The file is used to tell which set of virtual domain configuration files that the server should use. With support, wu-ftpd has the ability
to use separate configuration files for each virtual domain.
For a virtual host, configuration files can be placed into a separate virtual domain directory. The directory path and the virtual host IP
address that is to use those configuration files is listed in the file. The actual configuration files put into the virtual domain direc-
tory MUST be named as follows:
virtual domain's access file.
restrict the accounts that can use the web server."
SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS support."
allow or deny usernames access to that virtual server."
customize conversions available in the virtual domain."
You do not need to put every file in each of the virtual domain directories. If you want a set of domains to use the master copy of a
file, for example, the file, then do not include that file in those virtual domain directories. In that case the default master copy will
be used.
The file names must match those listed above. If you misspell any of them or name them something else, the server WILL NOT find them and
the master copy of them will be used instead.
ftpservers File Format
There are two fields to each entry.
For example:
When an ftp client connects to the server, tries to match the IP address the ftp client connected to with one found in the file.
If a match is found the path to the specified directory containing the configuration files for that specific domain is returned. The
server uses any configuration files in that directory.
If a match is not found, or an invalid directory path is encountered, default paths to the configuration files are used. The use of in the
example above fails the check for a specific directory and the master configuration files will be used.
Either the actual IP address or a specific hostname can be used to specify the virtual domain. It is better to specify the actual IP of
the virtual domain as it reduces the need for a domain lookup and eliminates DNS security related naming issues.
