WHile looking in the lib/stackio.c, I saw "directory" as a directive just like "include". So, in the client/etc directory I created a directory called clientlaunch.d and added the line "directory clientlaunch.d" to my clientlaunch.cfg file. I then created 3 files (mysql.cfg, raid.cfg, and postfix.cfg) in the clientlaunch.d directory.
Upon restart, all seems to work. I have not dfound this in the doc. Am I blind? In this a new feature that has not made it to the documentation yet?
My goal was to find an easy way to add/remove external scripts on a client without manually editing the clientlaunch.cfg. This appears to be the perfect answer. NOw I can simply add the code to the ext directory and the conf ot the clientlaunch.d directory and it all just works (I suspect I need to touch clientlaunch.cfg) so that it gets reprocessed to pick up new plugins or to forget about deleted ones.
Regardless -- If I understand this functionality correctly -- it looks like just what I need.
