[neomutt-users] conditional source command?

[Jakub Jindra]

Hi Ullrich,

how about utilize only ls? It seems source command accepts multiple 
files.

source `ls /usr/local/etc/Muttrc /dev/null 2>/dev/null`

The stderr redirection to /dev/null is there to supress ls error output.

If the file config file
- exists: it's source it and /dev/null also
- doesn't exist: ls will still return /dev/null, so neomutt source 
   command won't fail.


Best,
Jakub
