Select specific database in mongorc.js

Question

Is it possible to select a database that MongoDB should use on startup in the mongorc.js?

use dbname

is not functioning. This is a Non-JavaScript macro.

The db-name is an option when starting the mongo javascript shell.

mongo

mongo --help

You can also do something similar like this from the js file

db = db.getSiblingDB("dbname")

I know for startup but the second one was important. Thanks – hellectronic Apr 05 '12 at 15:17
