i'd like to use the same i3 config across multiple machines, so i'd like to be able to run exec conditionally to only start up (e.g. redshift) on some machines (where the hostname matches a string).

are if-then blocks allowed in i3's configuration?

No. See also https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1367/an..., which provides an answer that should be useful for you :).

Thanks, Michael. that's a great solution, the other one i'm considering is executing a shell script that does the conditional checking, it may not be as elegant, but it'll work :)
