20.0 Using POA Startup Switches

You can override settings provided in the GroupWise Administration Console by using startup switches in the POA startup file. The default location for the POA startup file is in the post office folder.

When you create a post office and install the POA, an initial POA startup file is created. It is named using the first 8 characters of the post office name with a .poa extension. This initial startup file includes the --home startup switch, set to the location of the post office folder.

Startup switches specified on the command line override those in the startup file. Startup switches in the startup file override corresponding settings in the GroupWise Administration Console. You can view the POA startup file from the Configuration page in the POA console.

The table below summarizes POA startup switches for all platforms and how they correspond to configuration settings in the GroupWise Administration Console.

Switch starts with: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
