Custom cfg, blacklist from URL - FleshyPod - 08 Oct 12
I am a creator of LAN AC competition at my school. Is there a way to run special config file hosted on website? This would save me from hours of reconfiguring when I decide to change some vars on each computer separately (all are the identical hardware), all I would need is to setup once and change cfg externally hosted.

That's a good idea. I don't think it's supported, but it should be.

There are several ways to do that.
1) host the stuff on an NFS/SMB/... drive and load the config file from there.
2) use something rsync/scp/... to actively push the file to the hosts
3) download the file every time a client is started, by adding something like
[SELECT ALL] Code:
curl http://path.to/config.cfg > config/saved.cfgOf course, there are additional ways, but they're probably more work than doing the stuff manually. How many instances are we talking about anyway?

For about 40 computers. I didn't even think that the competition will be THAT popular.

Not quite sure why I'm included :>
This would be a nice idea though.
