You might want to reduce the values to either:
- RDBMS-like lines/rows for easy comparison with sort and comm, and then write a tool to turn them into configuration files or scripts to reinstall the configuration. If you want to change some parameters, modify the file and then feed the lines to the tool. Each line/row might have one value after its description. The storge of a value that appears many places in one cell means generated files are mutually consistent.
- Write a shadow subtree of host-dirs/files: configuration files or scripts to reinstall the configuration. You can then diff -r saved subtrees with new subtrees.
This way, you can easily detect a changed configuration, and restore it.

lr_environment
LR_ENVIRONMENT.IN(1) LogReport's Lire Documentation LR_ENVIRONMENT.IN(1)
NAME
lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form
SYNOPSIS
eval `lr_environment`
DESCRIPTION
The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts.
All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell.
Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command.
The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility.
