Config file: ~/.esniper batch = false bid = yes logdir = ~/.esniperlogs username = myebayusername password = myebaypassword quantity = 1 seconds = 10

Any line can be in either file.

Note, it is better to have 1 auction file per item you wish to bid on, as the quantity affects how many to win and then quit.

Usage: screen -S esniper /opt/esniper/bin/esniper -d -n auction1.txt

if you want to just store your auction in your config file: /opt/esniper/bin/esniper -d -n ~/.esniper

Options: -d  # debug mode -n  # don't actually bid
