Command Arguments
There are two TbredComm command line arguments available. These can be added to TbredComm shortcuts.
- -A
- Key to AutoLogon definition. May be used with the –P option to specify the port number.
- -P
- TbredComm™ now supports the ability to connect on a specified port. The port number can be an optional argument to the shortcut startup. For example: C:\Program Files\TSI\BIN\Tbredcom.exe -P 7000
In this example, the port is specified using an upper case P with a space preceding the port number.
TbredComm now supports the ability to pass command line arguments to a Windows Basic through the WorkStation Manager. In order to supply command line arguments a complete autologin must be defined.
To do this from the WorkStation Manager select Options, select the TbredComm tab and add a new Auto Logon Section. For more information, see the Tbred Comm section in the WorkStation Manager manual.
After entering the Host Name, click on the Cmd Ln button to display the Command Line dialog box. This supports the command arguments that would normally follow ./b.
For example, to start Basic with an alternate IPLINPUT file enter the IPLINPUT file name (IPLWIN.TXT) in the Command Line window. By entering that file name in the command line window, Basic will start using IPLWIN.TXT.
Click OK to save the command line argument and exit the command line dialog. Complete the auto logon dialog as the reference manual describes, with one exception. You must specify a script file even if it is an empty file. We distribute a default script file TBDefaultWinBasic.tcl with VIP.
You can create a shortcut on your desktop to execute Windows Basic using the auto logon.
For example, if you create an auto logon named WIN the shortcut will resemble the following:
C:\Program Files\Tsi\BIN\Tbredcom.exe-A WIN.
For more information on creating shortcuts see the Creating Shortcuts section of this manual and the WorkStation Manager. Manual.
