Appendix D - Command-Line Switches

rcServer provides for the use of a minimal number of command-line switches that can be implemented as needed. These switches can be entered in any order and are not case-sensitive. To add a command-line switch, modify the rcServer shortcut. Add the switch (as documented below), separating each switch with a space.

Note: You must have a space between the end of the executable (program) name and the first command-line switch.

An example command-line switch would look like: C:\rcServer\crSerSrvr.exe /debug /lan

Available Command-Line Switches

Switch	Switch Usage
/Debug	This command-line switch enables additional tracking of information during application execution. rcServer will add a menu item (Help \| Show Debug Window) to the main display. You can view this additional information in the debug window dialog and/or save the debug file by using a pop-up menu item in the dialog. See the section on Running rcServer in Debug Mode for more information.
/Lan	Normally, rcServer stores preferences (configuration information) in the operating system's windows directory of the host PC. The information is stored in an INI file (a text file). Occasionally, users would prefer this information be stored in the application directory (co located with the program). Use the /lan switch to accomplish this. If this switch is used, preferences information is stored in the rcServer program directory, which might be on a shared LAN drive.

If you start with the default storage location (the windows directory) and later invoke the /lan switch, you should copy the rcServer INI file to the application directory before restarting rcServer. The INI file name is crSerSrv.INI.
