I’m having multiple rack.  
My .convox/auth is like this:

{  
“[production2-xxx.elb.amazonaws.com](http://production2-xxx.elb.amazonaws.com/)”: “xxx”,  
“[production3-xxx.elb.amazonaws.com](http://production3-xxx.elb.amazonaws.com/)”: “xxx”  
}

I tried:

convox rack params --rack=incorrect-name  
convox rack params --rack=production3  
CONVOX\_RACK=production3 convox rack params

All print the settings of production2 which I installed first.

Advice?

And how is `convox switch` is supposed to work? It is not doing anything except printing current rack name?

Looks at what I have:  
convox switch production3  
ERROR: could not find rack: production3

Okay, after pinging support, here is what I got:  
convox switch is supposed to be used if you use [console.convox.com](http://console.convox.com)

If you are not using [console.convox.com](http://console.convox.com):  
`CONVOX_HOST=xxx convox rack params` will show you the params of the rack  
`convox login HOST` will default convox to work on the rack at HOST
