Hello !
Apologize me for my poor english...

pi user start kplex, not a daemon/service.

In /etckplex.conf, i have 2 [file] entries.

[file]

name=READ183

filename=/home/pi/mypipe

persist=yes

direction=in

[file]

name=LOG

filename=/home/pi/kplex-0123456789.nmea4

direction=out

owner=pi

perm=666

group=pi

#append=yes

Can i comment LOG filename, and furnish this information in command line ? How to ?

[file]

name=LOG

#filename=/home/pi/kplex-0123456789.nmea4

pi: $ kplex -? -? filename=/home/pi/kplex-20200604_235959.nmea4

Thanks by advance

Sorry for delay in replying: Yes that's the way to do it. There is unfortunately no provision currently for overriding or augmenting an interface specification in the config file by use of command line options. You'll simply create a new interface, or an error if you try and name the interface with the same name as one specified in the config file. This is maybe not perfect but what you have done (specify the whole interface on the command line and remove from the config file) is the best alternative I can think of
