# This allows the user to have the configuration file in another place:

if [ -f "${CONF}" ]; then
 # ...but use a safeguard for those that didn't bother to configure things:
 grep -q "^IDIDNOTCONFIGURETHIS$" "${CONF}" && { echo "You didn't configure my app, exiting."; exit 127; }
 # ...so at this point all should be well and we read in the values by sourcing it with either "source" or "." in bash:
 source "${CONF}"

# Given a list of directory names in the configuration file or script:
DIRS="/proc /media /lost+found /mnt /sys"
# ..and a configured backup or temporary directory:

[ -e "${BACKUPS}/permissions.dat" ] || for DIR in $DIRS; do echo "${DIR} $(stat -c "%a %u %g" "${DIR}")"; done > "${BACKUPS}/permissions.dat"
