multitail - custom config (multitail.conf) location
Is it possible to provide a custom location for multitail.conf - or are my only options /etc/multiltail.conf or ~/multitail.conf?
I'd like to provide a specific config file that has regexes specific to our app defined, but I can't put this in the accounts home directory, or /etc.
I care most about the colors, so if it's possible to reference those from a seperate file, then that would work well too.

No you can tell multitail where to source the configuration file from using the --config switch.
--config filename
Load the configuration from given filename.
See the man page for more info.

This might depend on which version of MultiTail you have.
This is for v6.4.2 (via $ multitail -V).
Run
$ multitail -h #and it says the following:
*** configuration file ***
-F file use 'file' as configuration file (instead of /etc/multitail.conf)
--no-load-global-config do not read /etc/multitail.conf
-o config_file_parameter do a setting which would normally be set in the configuration file
This conflicts with what the man page says, in that the man page lists both -F and --config.
BTW there are other apparent errors in the man page, or at least it doesn't match what $multitail -h says.
So go figure. :-)
