Description-en: switch between system configuration sets
Switchconf allows users to easily change their system's settings,
choosing between the possible configurations for different
environments.
.
Most switchconf users are laptop owners who want to change their
network settings according to where they currently are - but there
are many cases for non mobile systems to desire to choose between
configuration sets.
.
Switchconf is a very simple script that takes its arguments from the
command line. It allows you to maintain different sets of
configurations, installing the desired set of configuration when
called with its name as an argument, and execute a pre-specified set
of commands before and after the switch.
