certainly. there are a few ways to do this. out of the box, if you use a config file that ends with ".m4", mon will pass that through m4 and use the results as the config file. then you could use m4's features to do the including and tons of fancy stuff if you want. for example: mon.m4: # this is the main config file include(part1.cf)dnl include(part2.cf)dnl part1.cf: here's part 1 part2.cf: here's part 2 should result in: # this is the main config file here's part 1 here's part 2 you may have to fiddle with the paths so the "include" knows where to look. you could also just use whatever other kind of macro-processing tool you have an affinity for, and then just make the output go to mon.cf before you tell mon to load it. _______________________________________________ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
