I'd like to ask a question: how can I conveniently switch the ini file? was created by MakerYang
After starting LinuxCNC with the `sudo -u user linuxcnc /opt/xyz/machine.ini` command, how can I switch to the ini at `/opt/xyzbc/machine.ini` without stopping the current LinuxCNC process?


My machine tool configuration files all have the following configuration:
...
[DISPLAY]
DISPLAY = halui
CYCLE_TIME = 0.1000
...

I forgot to mention, I have used the LinuxCNC Python module.

I don't think you can.
You could explore the 5 axis switchkins sims and see how they switch to and from TCP mode and see if you can adapt that.

kinematic switching does not switch the ini file but it is possible to change some ini values through hal pins but some settings are used to load the corresponding components at startup so you cannot change those.
Could you explain what exactly you trying to achieve?

The startup and shutdown of LinuxCNC take some time. I originally planned to change the machine configuration without stopping the LinuxCNC process. I have now abandoned this idea, as it would involve updating and changing many things. Additionally, once the machine configuration is set, the likelihood and frequency of changes won't be that high.
