Should I instead open a ticket and send a pull request to allow the on_error config attribute to be overridden using a command line parameter ?

Thanks,

We are using knife ssh to trigger simultaneous chef-client runs across multiple

Ideally I'd like to set the on_error knife ssh config variable to :raise
instead of :skip so that knife ssh fails with a non-zero exit code. How do I go
about setting this config attribute? Is it possible to set this in knife.rb?
