Brian,
Just to avoid future confusion, what you have done there is actually to
specify a relative path not an absolute path. You have launched analog
from the analog-6.03 directory (thereby making it the present working
directory) and have then specified lib_analog_config as the directory
containing your config files, which is an immediate descendent of
analog-6.03.
The omission of the leading '/' is exactly what makes this a 'relative
path'.

AH!!
Found my error.
When I right crontabs I try to include absolute paths whenever possible. It
seems that I can invoke analog with an absolute path, but from the
analog6.03 directory, I need to omit the "/" after the "-g" switch. This is
the command that works when I want to change config files and want an
absolute path declared for the analog executable:
(The "glib" is not the gnu lib but -g and the directory "lib_analog_config"
/usr/local/analog-6.03/analog +G -glib_analog_config/ob_analog.cfg

Subject: Re: [analog-help] Alternate config files
Brian,
"If the name of a configuration file given in a CONFIGFILE
command doesn't include a directory, it will be looked for
wherever analog expects to find its configuration files.
(This location is a compile-time option.) For example, in the
Windows version it would be in the same folder as the analog
executable. This applies to the default and mandatory
configuration files as well. But configuration files given
with +g (***are relative to the current directory at the time
you run the program***). "
Perhaps absolute paths are therefore not supported? Assuming
you are in Linux I suggest you try using the dot dot notation
for the parent directory. For example:
analog +G -g../lib_analog_config/alt_config.cfg
assuming you have run the executable from
/usr/local/analog-6.03/lib_analog_config/
If you run it from ./analog-6.03/
on the other hand then you would only need to use
-g/lib_analog_config/alt_config.cfg
Regards
Richard

I have an alternate config files that I want analog to use.
analog +G -galt_config.cfg
However, I have multiple config files, so to keep it
organized, I have
a specific directory for them:
/usr/local/analog-6.03/lib_analog_config
I've tried using the directory path in the statement that
provides the
location of the config file, but it doesn't seem to work properly:
analog +G -g/usr/local/analog-6.03/lib_analog_config/alt_config.cfg
What is the correct syntax to use to specify alternate
config files in
other directories?
