Sure you can, it's a .ini-like file. I didn't suggest it in the first
place because it's not documented anywhere what the known keys and
value formats are. But if you've already created it once, you see the
keys and value formats and you can change it using any text editor or
script. nm-system-settings daemon monitors the
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections directory and automatically
adds new connections. It also monitors the file changes there to
automatically update the connection data in NetworkManager as soon the
files change.
