Hi list, Wasn't sure which list this idea belongs, so I sent it here. It would be interesting if rc was extended to support profiles. Each profile would reflect a different system configuration. For example profiles could describe the computing environment at: home, work, friend's house, airplane, etc... The active profile the system uses could be chosen based on some contingency condition. For example, simply prompting the user to choose an rc profile at boot, or using hardware to choose the profile (e.g. like location based contingency using GPS hardware), or whatever... I guess this only pertains to booting though, but rc seems like a natural place to do this. Thoughts, comments? Yet another idea I have no time to try... Best Regards, Nathan Lay
