Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Load config file at commandline Post 302927220 by babyPen1985 on Monday 1st of December 2014 03:13:04 PM

Hello Sea,

Thanks for the quick turn around, that's one way of doing it which I am aware of. But I need something that I can keep loading dynamically just before executing the command. Password was just an example I provided, I have other variables that I need to load in other scenarios. I need something that I need to do at command line.
like:
Code:
. ./.myconfigFile
mysql -u $user -password $password -db $database

do we have something like that in linux, to load configuration at command line dynamically, apart from the one way I have posted in this reply.

wmclockmon-config

WMCLOCKMON-CONFIG(1)						   User Commands					      WMCLOCKMON-CONFIG(1)

NAME

       wmclockmon-config - A program to configure wmclockmon

SYNOPSIS

       wmclockmon-config [-h] [-v] [-f configfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the wmclockmon-config command.

       wmclockmon-config  is  a  program  to control the behaviour of wmclockmon.  You can change it's style and add alarms.  Command-line options
       override the default configuration file options. But if a file is given at command-line (with the -f option),  its  options  will  override
       those given before.

OPTIONS

       This  program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
       below.

       -h, --help
	      show help text and exit.

       -v, --version
	      show program version and exit.

       -f, --cfgfile
	      load specified configuration file

FILE

       wmclockmon-config uses one default file : ~/.wmclockmonrc. Empty lines or lines begining with a # are ignored.

SEE ALSO

       wmclockmon(1), wmclockmon-cal(1)

AUTHOR

       WMClockMon-config was written by Thomas Nemeth <tnemeth@free.fr>.

       This manpage was written by Marc Brockschmidt <marc@dch-faq.de> for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
