Command Line Options

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

These parameters are specified on the command line:

  jmax [-help] [-javaopt option] ... options ...

Supported command line parameters are the following:

• -help : print a short help message.

• -jmaxNoNetworkPackages “yes” : If this option is specified, jMax will not attempt to connect to the network repositories to download packages.

• -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>.

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.

• -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.
