The closest you could get to this would be to set <code></code>$OPSCENTERD_CONFIG_DIR<code></code> and have different config files per location you want to support.

Sorry. What I'd like to do is override the option set in opscenterd.conf with something like this: [authentication] passwd_file=${passwd_file} The value of ${passwd_file} could be an environment variable or a JVM arg. thobbs on "Can passwd_file in opscenterd.conf be overridden with a JVM arg or env variable?" http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/can-passwd_file-in-opscenterdconf-be-overridden-with-a-jvm-arg-or-env-variable#post-1210 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:17:14 +0000 thobbs 1210@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ In opscenterd.conf, there is a section named "[authentication]" with an option named "passwd_file". You can change the value of this to tell opscenterd where to find the passwd file.
