I suggest not to use your config file for this since this increases the risk 
of not working/corrupting it. Instead I would do something like:

close(creat("$HOME/.knotify-nosound));

E.g.:

buf[256];
const char *home = getenv("HOME");
if (!home) return;
if (strlen(home) > 256-20) return;
strcpy(buf, home);
strcat(buf, "/.knotify-nosound);
int fd = creat(buf, 0777); 
if (fd >= 0) close(fd);

After all, you are crashing so it's a sort of a wonder if anything works at 
all. 

Cheers,
Waldo
