I was also thinking one could share the script ie in a public repo somewhere for example, I use this https://github.com/c00kiemon5ter/iii/blob/master/connect and using the getenv patch I can just $ II_KEY=".." connect my password is not there and people can reuse the script > > 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 > > I agree this is actually also a very nice solution!
