What are the DNet client's command line arguments?

[Sukhoi]

VNC won't work correctly with the DNet window on my DX4-100 and P133. Is there some way to make a shortcut to the DNet .exe file and put a special switch in the shortcut command line to make the client fetch/flush when the shortcut is run? Thanks!

Hey Sukhoi,

Yes there is

Commandline options:

dnetc -update (fetches and flushes)
dnetc -fetch
dnetc -flush (these are obvious )

dnetc -restart (obvious too isn't it?!?)

dnetc -shutdown (again obvious)

Just make a shortcut and use the one you want and you should be fine I don't remember if you need " " around the shortcut, but if it doesn't work without it'll work with

Thanks!

What'll happen if I run -update when the client doesn't need to be updated? Will it just ignore the command and carry on it's merry way?

If buff-in.rc5/ogr is full and buff-out.rc5/ogr is empty it'll just state that buffers are full/empty no fetch/flush needed and carry on yes

BTW, Sukhoi, I've been experimenting with WinVNC lately. You probably need to uncheck the "poll console windows only" option to get the client to look right. It'll slow things down, but at least not as much as full-screen polling.

Or you could run the client (dnetc.com) in a DOS box, and then it should update right either way.

Hi Sukhoi, If you type "dnetc /?" or "dnetc -help", it will give you three screens of command line options without starting up a cruncher.

Thanks Ken.

Just running this shortcut through WinVNC should be faster than opening up the DNet client window anyway, so I think I'm just going to go with the shortcut.

Also thanks for the info JW
