Make stalk read a config file

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Make stalk read a configuration file so you can upgrade it easily without 
losing your settings.  Probably the easiest thing to do is just source a file:

if [ -r $0.conf ]; then
   . $0.conf
fi

Fixed in revision 349

If fixed this as suggested.  Stalk now checks if "$0.conf" exists, and if it 
does, it sources it.

I had to change the default initialization for the rest of the parameters so 
that only a partial subset of configuration options can be set in the config 
file.

If you don't specify THRESHOLD, INTERVAL or VARIABLE in the config file, they 
will be still be read from $0, $1, $2 respectively.

For the other variables, they will be set to the defaults if you don't specify 
them in the config file.

This issue was updated by revision r353.

Fix a few typos in stalk.  Also remove the functionality of accepting 
command-line options, because that was never really used, and update the 
documentation.
