H1. Introduction

Command line parameters have a higher priority than the default settings, or other constant settings (set in the Server configuration file, Windows OS registry, etc.). In some cases, the parameters specified at launch also predetermine the constant parameters. Such cases are described below.

When describing the syntax of parameters of separate programs optional parts are enclosed in brackets [...].

Features described below in the H1 section, do not applied to the Agent network installer.

Some command line parameters have a form of a switch—they begin with a hyphen. Such parameters are also called switches, or options.

Many switches can be expressed in various equivalent forms. Thus, the switches which imply a logical value (yes/no, disable/enable) have a negative variant, for example, the -admin-rights switch has a pair -no-admin-rights with the opposite meaning. They can also be specified with an explicit value, for example, -admin-rights=yes and -admin-rights=no.

The synonyms of yes are on, true, OK. The synonyms of no are off, false.

If a switch value contains spaces or tabs, the whole parameter should be put in quotation marks, for example:

"-home=c:\Program Files\DrWeb Server"

The names of switches can be abbreviated (by omitting the last letters), unless the abbreviated name is to coincide with the beginning of any other switch.
