The applications Command Line Mode offers users the ability to configure a truly "hands-off" installation, where operation and distribution occurs from within an easily manageable, administrative environment. This mode allows projects and jobs to be executed from logon scripts, system batch or command (CMD) files, detailed shortcuts, and shell commands.
Please Note:
| 1. | For the Command Line Arguments described in this topic, note that close attention should be paid to capital letters versus lowercase letters. Follow the format outlined in the examples provided. |
| 2. | Command Line Arguments can be added to a shortcut to Save-N-Sync. |
| 3. | All paths that are used in the command line should be surrounded by quotes (ie: "C:\Program Files"), especially if the path contains a space. Otherwise, the command will not register properly. |
| 4. | All paths that are used in the command line must be on the local system or on a non-password-protected network share. |
