specifying what configuration file to use

I assume this is in the documentation somewhere, but I can not find it.

When I had the SysAdm install analog on my Linux workstation a configuration file was created in /etc. I do not have root access on this system, so I can not change that one.

How do I specify what configuration file to use. It seems to always use the /etc/analog.cfg.

Thanks,

You can specify an additional .cfg file with the +g command line switch. You can tell Analog to ignore the default .cfg file by specifying -G

analog +gmyconfig.cfg logfile.log
analog -G +gother.cfg access.log

I had tried each of these separately, but not together.

Thanks,
