Command-Line Switches

Scroll Prev Top Next More

ezSuite 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 ezSuite 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:\dcsTools\ezSuite\ezSuite.exe /debug

Switch

Usage

/Debug

This command-line switch enables additional tracking of information during application execution. ezSuite will add a menu item (Help | TroubleShooting | View Application Event Log) to the main display, which is used to view this additional information. See the section on Setting Extended Logging Mode for more information.

Discontinued Switches

1.The "-T" switch, which invoked special, fault-tolerant handling of a log file, is no longer useful. Current versions of ezSuite automatically handle malformed log records that this switch helped overcome.

2.The "/LAN" switch, which forced the ezSuite preferences file to be located in the application folder. Beginning with ezSuite version 2.0.0, the preferences file is always located in the application folder. The change from the original location, the Windows folder, was made to accommodate increased security functionality in Windows XP and later operating systems.
