Chapter 7. The ThinLinc Client
All arguments written on the command line overrides the settings saved from previous sessions. The
options window will show the current settings, including the settings from the command line. The client
settings is only stored to file when the user press the OK button in the options window. This means that
options from the command line normally don’t affect the saved settings. But if the user opens the options
window and accepts the settings by pressing the OK button then the settings, including the one from the
command line, will be saved.
For a complete list of arguments supported by your client you can run the client with the argument -?.
Description of available command line arguments
Here follows a description for all available command line arguments.
-?, --help
Display a help summary.
--version
Display client version information and exit.
-a, --advanced
Start client in advanced mode. Advanced mode means that the client will show the Server field,
Options... button and the End existing session checkbox. The advanced mode is the normal mode
used when you start the ThinLinc client. A simpler mode, where those interface components are
hidden, is used automatically when you enter a server name as a command line argument. By
adding this argument you override that and always use the advanced mode.
-c, --controlpanel
Enable the Control Panel and apply stored mouse and keyboard speed and acceleration settings if
any. Only available on UNIX versions of the client.
-C, --configfile FILE
Specifies an additional configuration file. Parameter values in this configuration file overrides the
values specified by the system wide and user configuration file. Settings changed from the GUI will
be stored in this configuration file, instead of the user’s configuration file.
-d, --debug LEVEL
The ThinLinc client logs information about the current session to the file ~/.thinlinc/tlclient.log on
UNIX systems and %TMP%\tlclient.log on Windows systems. When the client is started, any
existing log file is renamed as tlclient.old.log. The amount of information to log can be
configured with this option followed by a number from 1 to 5. A low number gives less logging than
a higher number. The default is a log level of 3. For more information about log file placement, see
Section 7.6 below.
-u, --user USER
This option sets the user name that should be filled in into the Name field. This can be used to
override the name that is automatically saved from last session. If you for example, in a school
classroom, want it to always start with an empty Name field, then you can use this parameter with
the empty string "".
