. When
the batch file is finished executing (or when an error is encountered)
the application will be displayed and removed from the icon tray.Although it requires a windows system to run, the GUI version of PASSaGE can be executed directly from an MS-DOS command line. There are a few optional parameters that can be added to the command line to control the manner in which the GUI version of PASSaGE runs:
-hide
This suppresses displaying of application
and progress indicators during the execution of a batch file run from
the command line. The application will appear only as a spinning icon
in the system tray: . When
the batch file is finished executing (or when an error is encountered)
the application will be displayed and removed from the icon tray.
-nosplash
Prevents displaying of the splash screen upon startup.
The following parameter applies only to the CMD version of PASSaGE:
-quiet
By default, the CMD version of PASSaGE reports the current line of the batch file being processed as well as progress indicators for a variety of analyses in the standard output; use of this parameter will suppress the display of this information. Normal output from analyses will still be sent to the screen (unless turned off with the SCREENOUPUT batch command; see also Screen Output).
The following applies to all versions of PASSaGE:
<filename>
If a file name is included on the command line, PASSaGE will treat the file as a batch file and attempt to execute commands within the file immediately upon startup. The filename can include the full path if necessary, but must include quotation marks around the file path if any spaces exist in the path or file names. See Chapter 6 for more information on batch files. PASSaGE will assume that any parameter it does not recognize is the name of a batch file.
Command line parameters can appear in any order, thus the following are equally valid:
>passage –nosplash batchfile.txt
>passage batchfile.txt –nosplash
