motorcortex.conf

/etc/motorcortex/config/
└── motorcortex.conf

motorcortex.conf is a startup file that is loaded by the start service (e.g. when you run sudo motorcortex start), that determines which executable needs to be run and what command-line parameters should be passed to this executable.

Below is the motorcortex.conf of the standard robot application, complete — the file is only three lines:

EXECUTABLE_PATH="/usr/local/bin/"                # path of the executable
EXECUTABLE=motorcortex-robot                     # executable name
OPTIONS="-c /etc/motorcortex/config/config.json" # command line options

OPTIONS is where config.json is named, which makes this file the entry point to the whole configuration: everything else is found from there.
