Command Line Options

Top  Previous  Next

Use the following options to control execution of the command line client, whether cp20c on Linux or cp20c.node.exe cp20c.node.js on Windows.

 

Background management:

 

-start starts the client in background
-stop stops the background client previously started
-restart stops, then restarts the background client
 

Other control options:

 

-help displays the man page on Linux
-v displays version
-settings [-profile name] displays config file name and current settings for the default or specified profile
-config opens the config file in the system's text editor (Linux only, vi or the $EDITOR value)
-test tests the active or command-line supplied connection information, displays an error or success message
-logs displays a list of log files on the system (Linux only)
-log displays the current log file (pipe through a pager, like "more", Linux only)
-profiles displays a list of profiles found in the config file
-delprofile name deletes the named profile from the config file (default "settings" profile can't be deleted)
-setup url [-profile name] obtains a server setup from a URL supplied by a server administrator.  A profile name may be supplied.

 

If no -start option is supplied, a foreground connection is made.  Connection information is read from a settings file (displayed by using -settings, above), and you can also specify any other connection information with these options:

 

-server serverNameOrIP[:port]
-locid locationID or locationID@companyID
-password password
-nossl [off] (if on, disables default SSL connection)
-logdetail [off] (if on, turns on detail logging)
-logdebug [off] (if on, turns on additional logging)
-lang code specifies a language, such as "en" for English, "es" for Español

 

 

Note that if the -server setting includes an http:// or  https:// prefix, the -nossl setting is ignored.
