This reminds me of a related problem, concerning the situation where
you have more than one "user"  using a central installation of qp.
Since qp just follows the qp.sites package, typically hardwired onto a
specific ~user/qp_sites directory.

The solution proposed above, to be able to specify which qp_sites to
use, could be used to resolve this. But, to stay more in in spirit of
how it is done currently, how about (also) letting qp script evaluate
who the current user is, and evaulating that user's qp_sites?

Additionally, one could tell qp specifically which user's qp_sites you
want the script to use. This could therefore also allow on reboot
directives, so by user root,  such as:
/bin/su user -c 'qp -s sitename -u user start'
However this would overlap with the ability to directly specify which
site directory to use.
