4.13 Using Archive Agent Startup Switches

You can override settings provided in ConsoleOne by using startup switches in the Archive Agent startup file (strtup.aa). On NetWare and Windows, the startup file is located in the Messenger Agent installation directory. On Linux, the startup file is located in /etc/opt/novell/messenger.You can override startup switches provided in the startup file by using startup switches on the command line. For more information about starting the Archive Agent, see Section 4.2, Starting the Archive Agent.

This section contains information on the following Archive Agent startup switches:

The table below summarizes the Archive Agent startup switches and how they correspond to configuration settings in ConsoleOne. These startup switches must begin with a dash (-) when used in the Cross-Platform client.
