I wholeheartedly agree with this blog post. I believe someone on here yesterday was asking about config file locations and setting them manually. This is in the same vein. I can’t tell you how many times a command line method for discovering the location of a config file would have saved me 30 minutes of googling.

    Is all of that defined in a standard somewhere?

    I usually just use $HOME/bin and $HOME/opt for all my local user’s program needs, but would be interested if there is an actual defined standard for this.
