Novell Documentation: GroupWise 6.5 - Using Startup Options

Using Startup Options

GroupWise has commands that you can use when you start the Cross-Platform client on Linux. Some of them are for your convenience, and others are necessary to run GroupWise on your particular hardware.

NOTE: Startup options are not used with the Cross-Platform client on Macintosh.

GroupWise Startup Options on Linux

This Startup Option	Does This
-@u=?	Displays a login dialog box whenever you open GroupWise, allowing you to supply any necessary login information.
-@u=user_ID	Lets you use your GroupWise user ID to open GroupWise as yourself on another user's computer. The other user remains logged on to the network.
-ipa=ip_address_or_hostname	Lets you specify the IP address (x.x.x.x) or the name of the IP address when you are running in client/server mode.
-ipp=port_number	Lets you specify the IP port when you are running in client/server mode.
-l=xx	Applies only if you have two or more language versions or language modules. This option instructs GroupWise to override the default environment language (under General Environment in Options) with the language specified by the language code (xx). The language codes are listed in the table below.
-a=network_ID	Lets you log on to another user's computer using your network ID. The other user remains logged on to the network.
-nu	Turns off AutoRefresh. If this option is selected, click View, then click Refresh whenever you want to update the display with the items currently in your Mailbox.
-ph=pathname	Lets you specify the path to the post office.
-pc=path_to_caching_mailbox	Opens GroupWise in Caching mode. GroupWise must be restarted when you change from Online to Caching.

Using a GroupWise Startup Option

Right-click the GroupWise icon on the desktop, then click Properties.
Click the Execute tab.
In the Command text box after the GroupWise executable name, type a space, type the startup options, then click OK.

Separate multiple startup options with a space, like this:
```
/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise -p pathname -@u=?
```
In this example, -ph is the startup option to specify the path to the post office. The pathname is the path to the post office. The -@u=? option is used to display a login dialog box a user can supply with login information whenever he or she opens GroupWise. This option is useful when two or more users share a workstation but have separate GroupWise Mailboxes.
Restart GroupWise.
