63.0 Using Monitor Agent Switches

GroupWise® Monitor Agent startup switches must be used on the command line when you start the Monitor Agent, or in a script or batch file created to start the Monitor Agent. The Monitor Agent does not have a startup file for switches.

Linux:

If you start the Monitor Agent by running the gwmon executable, you can create a script like the following:

/opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/gwmon --home /domain_directory --other_switches &

If you start the Monitor Agent by running the grpwise-ma script, you can edit the MA_OPTIONS variable to include any switches you want to set.

Windows:

You can create a batch file like the following:

c:\gwmon\gwmon.exe /startup_switch /startup_switch ...

You can create a desktop icon for your batch file, or you can add startup switches to the Monitor Agent desktop icon that is created when you install the Monitor Agent.

The table below summarizes Monitor Agent startup switches for all platforms and how they correspond to configuration settings in the Windows Monitor Agent Server Console.
