How would it know what config file Dovecot is using? The config file needs to be read before it even knows where the base_dir is.
I don't know - :( - but I'm pretty sure postfix does it somehow...
Postfix's master uses also the -c option. But -c config_dir, because Postfix searches its main.cf and master.cf configuration files in the given config_dir. (see master(8))
What if there are multiple Dovecots running?
Hmmm... good point, don't know on that one, and I've never run multiple postfix instances, so don't know if/what it dos in that case either...
Each instance has its own configuration/data/spool directories with all
instance specific files.
And yes, a postconf -n for one the multi instances is more complex
than a simple dovecot -n -c /path/to/funny-name.conf. Looks like this:
postmulti -i $INSTANCE_NAME -x postconf -n
