Getting profile updated with CLI only

[warner 0]

Hi there,
I'm trying to get Eddie to run on a headless server. Instead of running -user=xx -pass=yy in the terminal, I'd like to get the profile to remember user/pass.

However, this seems impossible:

Did anyone find a workaround for this situation? Since the default.profile file is encrypted, copying it from another machine wont work.

In Eddie Preferences > General, you could set Profile data protection to Password and enter one, then copy that file over to the machine and provide that password there. Didn't test it, though, just an idea.
