Can MinimServer be configured by configuration file?

[jwoudenberg]

Hi Ernst! Thank you for your help! I think `mscript` will work fine for my purposes, this is great!

I'm now running into a second obstacle. In NixOS all software is installed in a directory tree called the "nix store". It's an immutable directory tree that allows no changes. When I attempt to run `startc` I get this error:

Quote:Error locking configuration lock file /nix/store/pdixympb0y2a7fnnm7ac4rjas1k21nd5-minimserver-2.0.18/minimserver/data/minimserver.config.lock

I imagine minimserver attempts to create a directory for its own state relative to where the software lives on the filesystem, but because the nix store is immutable this won't work.

Is there a way to pass minimserver a path to a directory where it can put its state files?
