====== Command Line Options ======


jMax uses a number of //command line parameters// to parametrize the system. 

These parameters are specified on the command line: 

<code bash>
  jmax [-help] [-javaopt option] ... options ...
</code>

Supported command line parameters are the following:

== Help ==


  * ''-help'' : print a short help message.

== Options related to Packages ==
 

  * ''-jmaxNoNetworkPackages "yes"'' : If this option is specified, jMax will not attempt to connect to the network repositories to download packages.

== User interface related ==
 
  * ''-jmaxStyle <name>'' : Select the user interface style <name>: the option take precedence over the content of the .jmax.xml configuration file.

  * ''-jmaxWidth <int>'' : For single windows interfaces, set the width of the window to <int>.

  * ''-jmaxHeight <int>'' : For single windows interfaces, set the height of the window to <int>.


== Connection to computational server (fts) ==


Usually you do not need to use these options, unless you are running the
user interface on a different machine or you are debugging jMax  Phoenix.

  * ''-jmaxServerDir <dir>'' : The directory where to find the fts executable, default to the installation directory.

  * ''-jmaxServerName <filename>'' : The nameof the fts executable, default to a value compatible with the platform (fts on unix based OS, fts.exe on windows).

  * ''-jmaxConnection <connection>'' : The type of the connection to the server, default to local. Supported connection types are:
    *''udp'': for an udp connection
    * ''tcp'': for a tcp connection.
    * ''udpclient'': for a UDP based connection to an already open fts process
    * ''tcpclient'': for a TCP based connection to an already open fts process started in tcp server mode.
    * ''local'': for a pipe based connection (the default).
 
  * ''-jmaxHost <hostname>'' : In case of a udpclient or tcpclient connection , the host name of the server.

  * ''-jmaxPort <port>'' : In case of a udpclient or tcpclient connection, the port number of the server.



== System related ==
 

  * ''-jmaxNoRealTime "yes"'' : If "true", run the server without runtime privileges.

  * ''-debug'' : Start the Java user interface in debug mode (check the debug documentation
      on the wiki).

  *'' -javaopt <opt>'' : Pass <opt> directly to the java virtual machine.
