[Gretl-devel] Re: Feature request: accessor for </etc/machine-id>

Hi Allin and Jack, Often one works, at least me, on different machines which may have different directory structures; something like <hansl> scalar MACHINE = 1 if MACHINE==1     string wd = "home/user_b/Dropbox/project/" elif MACHINE==2     string wd = "home/user_B/SomStuff/project/" endif </hansl> This requires that one always need to select manually some active machine. Linux (and I guess also Windows and MacOS), however, stores a unique identifier for every machine, try <cat /etc/machine-id>. See e.g. here for details: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/machine-id.5.html Do you also consider it worthy to add such an accessor which could be named "idmachine". Alternatively it could be stored in the bundle accessed by $sysinfo.
