Automate compiling of linux kernel

Hi,

I'm a newbie at kernel compilation.
Currently trying to do a bash script to automate the compiling process of the linux kernel.

I'm having some problems with automating the configuration.
I know its possible to load an existing .config file in the make menuconfig screen prompt.
But it is possible to load the .config file by passing it as some kind of argument?
Something like make some-command /path/to/my/.config/?
If not, is there any alternative to that, so I can go through the configuration process without selecting manually?

Thanks in advance.

netlabelctl reset| load DESCRIPTION
The NetLabel configuration utility, netlabel-config, is a script designed to make it easier for system administratiors to create, manage, and use complex NetLabel configurations. The netlabel-config script uses the netlabelctl(8) tool and /etc/netlabel.rules configuration file to load a saved NetLabel configuration into the kernel and reset the kernel's NetLabel configuration to the default state when needed. reset Removes any NetLabel configuration loaded into the kernel and resets the kernel's NetLabel state to the default. load Loads the NetLabel configuration specified by /etc/netlabel.rules into the kernel. EXIT STATUS
Returns zero on success, errno values on failure. NOTES
The NetLabel subsystem is supported on Linux Kernels version 2.6.19 and later. The static, or fallback, labels are only supported on Linux Kernels version 2.6.25 and later. The domain mapping address selectors are only supported on Linux Kernels 2.6.28 and later. The NetLabel project site, with more information including the source code repository, can be found at http://netlabel.sf.net. This pro- gram is currently under development, please report any bugs at the project site or directly to the author. AUTHOR
