: Yeah, that's what I'm doing now. I have a bunch of configuration files, and I

: /usr/lib/kermit/configs/some_config_file`. The problem I was looking to solve
: is that if I want to make a change to the configuration files, I now have 256
: files on which to make the change. I figured if I could make kermit get it's
: configuration from stdin, I would only have one file...
