[Xastir] Day/Night Users

[Alex Carver]

Yes, -c /path/to/config/directory

So under one account have three configuration directories:

~/bob/.xastir (default)
~/bob/.xastir.night
~/bob/.xastir.day

Then start xastir accordingly even using shell scripts:

~/xastir.night:
#!/bin/bash
xastir -c ~/bob/.xastir.night

~/xastir.day:
#!/bin/bash
xastir -c ~/bob/.xastir.day
