PeerSync Help > Interface Features > Command Line Arguments

Configuration 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).

/0:Profile

Set SNC File to Load (Profile = File): If the /0 argument is used in a shortcut or from the command line, PeerSync will load the Job information specified in the file.

Examples:

/0:"C:\My SNC\MyBackups.snc"

/0:MyBackups.snc

MyBackups.snc

Full path to file

Will use install directory

Will use install directory (Must be first argument)

/1:source

Set Source Path (source = Folder): If the /1 argument is used in a shortcut or from the command line, PeerSync will use it in conjunction with /2 to define a Source and Target path for a Job.

Example:

/1:c:\source /2:c:\target

c:\source to c:\target

/2:target

Set Target Path (target = Folder): If the /1 argument is used in a shortcut or from the command line, PeerSync will use it in conjunction with /2 to define a Source and Target path for a Job.

Example:

/1:c:\source /2:c:\target

c:\source to c:\target

/C:cfile

Load Alternate Configuration File (cfile = File): If the /C argument is enabled, PeerSync will use the values specified in cfile for synchronization information instead of using the default configuration file: PSDef.cfg which is located in the install directory.

Example:

/C:C:\PeerSync\configs\altconfig.cfg

Use alternate configuration file

/USEPROFILEARG

Use Arguments from Profile: If the /USEPROFILEARG argument is used in conjunction with a /0:Profile, PeerSync will use the arguments specified in Profile, for synchronization. By default, when you create a shortcut on the desktop or in the startup folder from the StartUp Options screen this argument is used.

Notes:

1.Any arguments containing spaces must be enclosed by quotes.

2.Command line arguments can also be identified through hints displayed on the Profiler.

3.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).
