| Features / The Command Line | |
The command line options of the Genero Desktop Client, organized by category.
| Option | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -h | Displays About Box and exits. | |
| -V | ||
| --Version | ||
| -c | Defines an additional configuration file. See Apply an additional configuration file. | |
| --config |
| Option | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -n | Starts a new instance of Genero Desktop Client. | |
| --new | ||
| -p | new_port | Genero Desktop Client
will listen on the first available port starting with new_port. Important: If an instance is already running, -p has
no effect if -n is not specified.
|
| --port | ||
| -q | If the expected port (either 6400, or port specified by --port) is not available, Genero Desktop Client will stop (exit with -1). | |
| -D | Starts Genero Desktop Client in debug Mode (debug Tree and debug Console are active) | |
| -A | security level | Sets Genero Desktop Client's security level regarding the Runtime System's connection. |
| --Authentication | ||
| --listen | ANY|LOCALHOST|NONE|AUTO | Specify the network listening
mode of the Genero Desktop Client. ANY: Listen to any network for a new connection (old behavior) LOCALHOST: Listen to localhost only, DVM must be on the same host as Genero Desktop Client or must be on a host connected with port forwarding NONE: No listening at all. Only HTTP connection will work, this is the most secure operating mode. AUTO: Like LOCALHOST, but Genero Desktop Client will switch back to ANY when a regular direct shortcut (without port fowarding) is used, to allow a connection from outside. The Genero Desktop Client will switch back to LOCALHOST when no more connections and no more terminals are active, after a two minutes timeout. Important: AUTO is the default, which
means connections from the outside that are launched without using
the shortcut system will not work anymore.
