Command Line Switches

The following command line switches modify the behaviour of Accredo on startup.

These can be applied automatically to all users on start-up from a configuration file, see Startup Configuration - System.cfg file.

Note: If you pin a running version of Accredo to the Windows taskbar, any command line switches that were applied when running Accredo will be retained, and will be applied each time the shortcut is accessed.

Command line only switches

Switch	Description
`/C COMPANYNAME`	Starts Accredo and opens the specified Company.
`/INTERACTIVE`	Allows COM connections to this instance. Normal COM behaviour is to create a new instance. Can be used with the /Automation switch to allow ‘screen popping’ (for example, CRM systems or call centre applications). When used in this way, Accredo will use the normal user licence pool (not the COM pool) and will run as normal for the user but can be discovered by COM clients.
`/M`	Starts Accredo minimised. Note: if used with a command line script the application will only be minimised if no forms are opened by the script.
`/O ScriptName [OutputFileName]`	Runs a script from the command line with an optional output file for messages. Leaves the application open on completion.
`/P SystemPath`	Starts Accredo with the specified system path.
`/S ScriptName [OutputFileName]`	Runs a script from the command line with an optional output file for messages. Closes the application on completion.
`/SYSRECO`	Recover system tables.
`/X Minutes`	Forced exit when running a command line script after a specified amount of time.
