I'm afraid that's not quite good enough (it's only good enough for a
workaround).
You see, my netconfig script does several things like this one:
#!/bin/zsh
cd /etc && {
echo Fixing resolv.conf...
[[ -L resolv.conf ]] && [[ -e resolv.conf-$1 ]] && {
rm resolv.conf
ln -s resolv.conf-$1 resolv.conf
}
}
"$1" is supposed to be the same for a specific set of wireless networks and
different for others.
I could of course make the script more complex (add a key lookup), or have
more resolv.conf-* files that are identical; but I think the best would be
to be able to pass a custom command line argument to the netconfig script
from wicd. I'm fine with it being the fourth argument.

Not just yet. :)

Never agree with me, it shakes my self-confidence.
