Hello All,

I am just wondering, what are the command line arguments for Goldmine?
(since I didn't see them in the web or in the hacker's guide)  I would like
to be able to select a database from the command line rather than from
opening it form goldmine.

Thanks,
 Brooke Beardsley

/c: will allow you to select a contact file for opening.  These are
most-definitely in the hacker's guide.  Not sure what page tho

<shocked, betrayed stare>GASP!</shocked, betrayed stare>

Here are the ones I know off the top of my head:
/u:   pass the username
/p:   pass the password
/b:   pass a folder in which remote installation files reside.  Legacy
feature, no longer applicable(?)
/c:   pass a folder in which contact files reside:   example:
/c:c:\apps\goldmine\common\
/t:    'thin client mode'.  removes a number of bandwidth-heavy operations.
most appropriate for thin client users (thin bandwidth network/vpn, graphon,
term server)
/m:   pass a recorded goldmine macro number to run
/s:    run in silent server mode.  options include /s:DDE and /s:GOLDSYNC

I seem to recall that there are some for passing the sysdir and golddir, but
I can't seem to figure them out.  A bit of testing would be in order...
Just use a shortcut to a real goldmine, put in a /u: and /p: with proper
login info and add a /?:d:\invalidpath\ and see when you get an error saying
it can't find d::\invalidpath\cal.dbf... :)

Doug,

I am curious about the "/t" option. We are running term serv and have had
some issues with users being "kicked" out. We are on a SQL backend, so
maintenance is done each night. I am curious what items are removed when
using this option.

Thank,

Try it out!  You don't have to be within term server to try it.  Any old
GoldMine shortcut will do.  It won't hurt anything.  :)

Mainly it's things like AP scanning, reports, global replace, etc.
