I think what you're suggesting exists already. The config key is 'import' or 'try_import' (the former failing on invalid input, while the latter doesn't). If you don't want the default configuration file to be read, you need to use '-n' too, otherwise rtorrent will read both: $ rtorrent -n -o import=~/.rtorrent.rc.foo Can you try it and see if it really does what you think it should?
