You can use command line parameters to perform the following operations when the program is being launched:
| · | Load and activate a rule set from a file. Use the "/ruleset" switch followed by the file name and full path, e.g.:
|
| CV.EXE /ruleset "C:\Program Files\CommView\Rules\POP3Rules.rls"
|
| If a file name or its path contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation marks (" ").
|
| · | Open an adapter and start capturing. Use the "/adapter" switch followed by the adapter name, e.g.:
|
| CV.EXE /adapter "Intel(R) PRO/1000 T Desktop Adapter"
|
| The adapter name must be enclosed in quotation marks (" "). Since adapter names are typically long, you might want to copy the adapter name from the program's adapter selection box rather than type it. To copy the adapter name, select the adapter in the adapter selection box and press Ctrl-C.
|
| · | Use the specified folder for storing log files. Use the /logdir switch followed by the full path to the folder, e.g.
|
| CV.EXE /logdir "C:\Program Files\CommView\Logs"
|
| · | Connect to one or several remote agents. Use the "/ra" switch followed by the IP address or hostname of the Remote Agent you'd like to connect to, followed by the password in quotation marks, followed by the adapter number that should be monitored (the adapter index is 1-based, i.e. if you need to monitor the first adapter, use "1"), e.g:
|
| CV.exe /ra 192.168.0.5 "MyPassword" 1
|
| To connect to multiple Remote Agents from the same CommView instance, first make sure that multiple CommView instances are not allowed in the application options, and then use a batch file that should look like this:
|
| START "CV" "C:\Program Files\CommView\CV.exe"
|
| PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 5000 >NUL
|
| START "CV" "C:\Program Files\CommView\CV.exe" /ra 192.168.0.1 "pwd1" 2
|
| PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 >NUL
|
| START "CV" "C:\Program Files\CommView\CV.exe" /ra 192.168.0.2 "pwd2" 1
|
| PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 >NUL
|
| START "CV" "C:\Program Files\CommView\CV.exe" /ra 192.168.0.3 "pwd3" 1
|
| PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 >NUL
|
| This script launches CommView, waits for 5 seconds to make sure that the application is loaded (we use the PING command to pause because there is no direct way of telling a .BAT file to pause), then we pass to the application the IP addresses, passwords, and adapter numbers of three Remote Agents (with one-second pauses).
|
You can use all of these parameters, except the last one, at the same time.
