Command-line reference

From EventGhost

The EventGhost main executable accepts the following command line arguments:

Contents 1 -e {Eventname} 2 -h or -hide 3 -f {Filename} 4 -n {Host}:{Port} {Password} {Eventname} 5 -translate

[edit] -e {Eventname}

Issues the event {Eventname} in the currently running EventGhost instance.

[edit] -h or -hide

Starts EventGhost hidden in the system tray.

[edit] -f {Filename}

Opens the XML file {Filename} on start-up (instead of the last loaded file).

[edit] -n {Host}:{Port} {Password} {Eventname}

This one is similar to the -e option, but sends the event {Eventname} through TCP/IP like the 'Network Event Sender' plug-in does. It will not start EventGhost, so it can be used as a little helper tool for other applications or .BAT files to send events to a remote machine. {Host} has to be the IP or host name of the target machine. {Port} and {Password} are the options that are configured on the target machine's 'Network Event Receiver' plug-in.

[edit] -translate

Starts EventGhost's language editor.
