I would like IRCPASS even more, which would make
the var unrelated to the app, thus also usable in eg. sic.
however if one wants to connect to more than one server
and has a different password for that other server then
the env var doesn't help, scriptwise talking.
ofcourse one can reset the var and invoke the new ii isntance,
but if you're doing that in a script and you don't want to be
including the passwd within the script then this cant work.
well, what I have in mind with that ^ is something like:
$ IRCPASS="fooo" connect.sh
and connect.sh fires up two ii instances to connect to
two different server which need a different password.
I think a nice thing to do that would also resolve the
naming choice would be to have -k or some other argument
mean that ii should read the -k flag as an env var. so
$ ii -k IRCPASS
would getenv("IRCPASS"), and
$ ii -k OFTCPASS
would getenv("OFTCPASS")
etc
so now the hypothetical connect.sh script
can be invoke as:
$ OFTCPASS="fooo" FRNDPASS="baaar" connect.sh
and connect.sh knows that
% if [ "$server" = "freenode" ]; then passwd=FRNDPASS
% elif [ "$server" = "oftc" ];then passwd=OFTCPASS
% fi
% ii -k "$passwd"
or something along that
I think it's flexible :D
surely there are workaround to the above "problem"
but just making an alternative though here
