Recommended setting of config file

[robinjoseph08]

Hey @jamesrwhite,

I see that you removed the default config location of /etc/minicron.toml. Because there's not a default location, I was wondering how you'd recommend setting configs for a cron client.

Here's my setup: I have one server that acts as my minicron server (hosts the hub and the DB) and another server that is my actual cron worker. Since this isn't the usual setup of everything running on the same server, I've got a few custom configs to set for both client and server (for example, client.server.host isn't 0.0.0.0 anymore).

For the server, I can easily run minicron server stop --config /path/to/config.toml when I start the hub (though it isn't the most convenient), but for the client that runs minicron run, as far as I can tell, I can't specify the config file to use since it's the hub that writes the minicron run command to /etc/crontab.

Was there an explicit reason you removed the default config file? It seems to have just made things a little more complicated to work with :/ Am I missing something?

Hmmm yeah, this may have been a slight oversight on my part. It was messing with the tests a bit so I was being lazy and thought I could remove it. I'll probably revert that change tomorrow and come up with a better solution for my test issue, thanks for pointing this out!

Awesome, thanks for the quick response! This is a great project and I can't wait til it sees v1.0.0!

The if opts.config needs to be removed also :(
