xmonad only looks in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs, though an option could be added, the symlink or hardlink option works fine: I generate the links (for everything in the directory) with the following script, run in the source (backup) directory:
#!/bin/sh pwd=`pwd` for x in *; do ln -vs "$pwd/$x" ~/".$x" done

I like to put all of my important configuration files inside ~/etc for easy backup. Is there a way to have xmonad load ~/etc/xmonad.hs in place of ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs? I know I could use a symlink but then I'd have to remember to set that up again, would prefer if there was a command line option to xmonad or someway to specify in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs that it should just look at ~/etc/xmonad.hs. _______________________________________________ xmonad mailing list xmonad@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/xmonad
