There are three ways that I know of to pick the config file:
shell> emc
Start the "pickconfig" config picker. If emc has been run before
it remembers what config you used last time, and the pickconfig program
starts with the previously selected config highlighted, so you can just
hit Enter to choose the same one.
shell> emc -l # dash little ell
If emc has been run before, start with the previous config without
showing the config picker window. If emc has not been run before, show
the config picker (ie, act just like "emc").
shell> emc $FILE
Start with the specified $FILE (which must have a .ini extension),
without showing the config picker.
emc records which config it starts with in ~/.emcrc's
[PICKCONFIG]LAST_CONFIG. That variable, and the $FILE in the third case
above, is the full path name to the ini file.
A config directory may contain several ini files. This is useful for
things like the hm2-servo family of configs, where several different
.ini files share .hal files etc.
