General options

The General options control how systems start and run, the ports and the configuration files that are used by the Launcher service, and the display of the Launcher service status. These options correspond to the options that you configure on the General tab of the graphical Launcher Administration interface.

{launcheradmin.bat | launcheradmin.sh}
  [-manual | -auto]
  [-single | -separate]
  [-lport listening_port] 
  [-prange startport:endport]
  [-mrc resource_config_file ]
  [-ini ini_file_path]
  [-status]

-manual: Specifies that manual startup of systems is required.
-auto: Specifies that systems and compound systems start automatically as part of the Launcher service startup.
-single: Specifies that all systems and compound systems are to run under one Launcher process.
-separate: Specifies that each system and compound system is to run in a separate process.
-lport listening_port: Specifies a listening port on which the Launcher service listens for client connection requests from the Management Console and the Launcher Administration graphical and command line tools. When it listens for the Launcher Monitor, the Launcher service adds 1 to the value of the listening port that you specify. For example, the default listening port is 5015. The Launcher service adds 1 to the value and listens for the Launcher Monitor on port 5016.
-prange startport:endport: Specifies the range of ports to be used by the launcher processes that are started by the Launcher service. Because the Status, Control and Monitor ports are included in this range, the minimum range is three ports.
-mrc resource_config_file: Specifies the name of the resource configuration file that is used by the Launcher. The resource configuration file resolves the resource aliases that are used in maps.
-ini ini_file_path: Specifies the full path to the Launcher initialization file. If the path contains spaces, enclose the path in quotation marks (" "). By default, the initialization file is the config.yaml file in the installation directory.
-status: Specifies the status of the Launcher service. The status is either Running or Stopped. When the Launcher service is stopped, any options that you set are saved in the launcheradmin.bin file and used the next time the Launcher service starts. When the Launcher service is running, the options that you set dynamically update the settings of the Launcher service. If the Launcher service is running and you attempt to set options that cannot be updated dynamically, the command line returns an error.
