I am skeptical whether it is a good idea to modify the config file at all.
I bet that many people make the implicit assumption that this file is constant.
And modifying it when the host is "localhost" is hidden constraint that makes
it tricky to understand why the script sometimes configures things for you and
sometimes not.
I vote for an approach to add this as a command line parameter to the
ssh-transmitted call to start the taskmanager. The command line parser should
check for that argument similarly as it checks for the config directory.
