Synctool: combining config file with options

[David Chandek-Stark]

It would be useful IMO to be able to combine the -g config file option with other explicit options (that would presumably override the config), especially -x.  When I try to use -g and -x I get the --help output.

Hi David,

The -g option was primarily created to support restarting with a previous config, but the format of the config file is really simple, it just captures each parameter and parameter value on a new line so you should be able to update the config file to add, update, or remove the parameters before using -g to run the tool with the updated file.

I tried this a while back and it worked; it's not something that is part of our normal testing, but I expect this method would work fine.

Hope this helps.

Bill,

Yes, I discovered that works.  You can add -x to the config file.

Thanks,

David
