File redirection help

[garyj]

Hi all

I have a problem that I hope someone on this forum can provide a solution for.

I have an application which looks in a particular directory for it's settings. For example \var\setting.txt

These settings are stored in a text format and can be edited easily.

I would prefer to keep this setting.txt file on a USB stick rather than the HDD for portability so that I can easily use the same settings on two linux PC's without having to redit them everytime.

I have tried but cannot manipulate the application to look in a different location for this file, do you know if it is possible to "point" linux to another location when looking for the file?

Thanks

Gary

Please do not double post. It's really annoying to read the same question twice!
