Feature request: Ability to specify flags in order to choose which screen to display at start. about wavemon HOT 2 CLOSED

Thank you for this suggestion. I thought about it a while. The feature is available in some way, by saving the default screen in ~/.wavemonrc. It can also be set by editing the rc file.

Looking at the costs of adding this feature, it would take a lot of options that will make the manpage and help screen bigger. Since the same effect can be achieved by setting the personal preference, or by using a keyboard shortcut (Fx key or 1-character shortcut for each screen), I decided to not implement this in the stable version of wavemon.

I will keep it in mind for the development version that is in planning.

The main use case for me personally would be for scripting purposes.

Suppose you have multiple wlan interfaces and want to monitor different things in different tmux panes (in different monitors if there's a possibility).
Then it would be great to have the ability to specify what interface to monitor (which is currently possible) and which mode (which is currently not possible), and even the mode's settings (although I personally don't think I'd use that).

Another (albeit a bit more crude) method of implementing this feature would be to have the ability to specify different .wavemonrc's at startup.

For example:
wavemon -c ~/wavemon_config_files/confighome
wavemon -c ~/wavemon_config_files/configwork
