[Opensim-users] Editing OpenSim.ini in the console

[Ken G.]

Someone asked on #osgrid if a config value could be changed in the
console, so I decided to look into it. In the console, I made a simple
noncritical change to OpenSim.ini and saved it using config set and
config save <file> commands.

All comments were stripped from the file, reducing the file to a neat
334 lines as opposed to 1406 in the original. But that also stripped
quotes from values that had them, resulting in startup failure.

I realize this isn't the appropriate channel to report bugs, just
asking if people feel this a useful feature. I think it can be, if the
config file can be "rehashed" (for lack of a better term) without
restarting the whole simulator. No idea if this is possible myself. I
would file my first mantis with a little encouragement.
