PeerSync's Command Line Mode offers users the ability to configure a truly "hands-off" installation, where operation and distribution occurs from within an easily manageable, administrative environment. This mode allows Profiles to be executed from logon scripts, system batch (BAT) or command (CMD) files, detailed shortcuts, and shell commands -- while also providing full access to the Profiler features through command line arguments.
Profiles will need to be created through the Profiler first in order to be further modified through the arguments described in this topic (See Profiler Overview and related Help Topics).
Command Line Arguments are entered into a Profile shortcut, created during build through the "Add to Desktop" button found on Profiler's Startup/Service screen.
Notes:
1.For the command line arguments described in this topic, note that attention is paid to punctuation, to the order in which arguments are entered, and that appropriate spaces are used to separate these arguments. Follow the format outlined in the examples provided.
2.Profile .SNC file names are the only command line variables associated with operation of the Profiler. All other arguments described in this topic are used to configure operation of the PeerSync and its execution of Profiles.
Profiler Command Line Arguments |
As noted above, Profile (.SNC) file names are the only variables associated with operation of Profiler. To change an .SNC file name through the command line:
1.Right click the Profile shortcut you created during build (see StartUp/Service, "Add to Desktop" button). 2.Select the "Properties" item from the pop-up menu. 3.Select the "Shortcut" tab. As shown in the following sample, the "Target" field will contain a command line for the Profile, where "Profile One" represents a sample Profile name: "C:\Program Files\PeerSync\PeerSync.exe" "C:\Program Files\PeerSync\Profile One.SNC" /USEPROFILEARG 4.Manually change the Profile Name to reflect that of the new .SNC file 5.Click the "OK" button |
PeerSync Command Line Arguments |
The following arguments are appended to the end of the command line followed by a space and forward slash (i.e. /A). A space and forward slash are also used to separate each additional argument (i.e. /A /M). |
Notes:
1.Any arguments containing spaces must be enclosed by quotes.
2.Some features described on this page may require the Enhanced Package.
3.Command line arguments can also be identified through hints displayed on the Profiler.
4.If you have selected to display hints through the View Menu (either on the application interface or in its Status Bar), a hint will be displayed for Profiler features upon passing the mouse cursor over them. These hints will display both a description of the feature as well as its related command line argument (if any).
