Starting the mvBase Server from the Command Line

The mvServer Application can be started at the command line prompt. Use the mvServer.exe command:

mvserver.exe   /f{path}   /a   /r   /d

All command line switches are optional and must be separated by a space. When there are no switches specified, the mvServer startup uses the settings found in the registry as defined by the mvBase Administration Utility.

Command Options

When any switch is used, the settings in the registry are ignored and the behavior defined by the switch specified is used during mvServer startup.

f{path}

FILELOAD with an optional path to a VTF file containing a filesave tape.

When used without a path, the tape defined in the registry is used.

To access the floppy drive use the form:

\\.\a:

/r

Recovery

/a

Autoboot (overridden by the Fileload check option).

/d

Default (overridden by all other switches).

Starts the mvServer with Autoboot, the Fileload and Recovery check boxes disabled.
