Novell Documentation: Novell SecureLogin 3.51

Setting Up a Shortcut

You can set up a shortcut for terminal launcher application scripts. The following example shows how to create a terminal launcher desktop shortcut called Simple Login. This shortcut launches and logs the user into a Jolly Giant QWS3270 Plus session.

Right-click the desktop, then click New > Shortcut.
Enter (or browse to) the path for tlaunch.exe.

For example, enter "c:\Program Files\novell\securelogin\tlaunch.exe". Include quotation marks.
To the end of this line, add "/auto/p[application_name]/e[emulator_name]".

For example, type
```
"/auto/pSimple Login/eJolly Giant"
```
For information on the command line switches, see Command Line Parameters Used in Terminal Launcher.

The shortcut box contains this shortcut line:

"C:\Program Files\Novell\Securelogin\Tlaunch.exe" "/auto/pSimple Login/eJolly Giant"
Click Next, name the new application shortcut, then click Finish.

When you double-click the shortcut, the shortcut launches Jolly Giant and runs the selected script.

Command Line Parameters Used in Terminal Launcher

Terminal Launcher can use the following command line parameters.

Parameter	Description
/auto	Enables the command line facility of Terminal Launcher. This parameter must be in the command line for the other command line options to work.
/b	Specifies background authentication mode.
/eemulator_name	Launches the specified emulator. You must enter the emulator name exactly as it is listed in the Emulator drop-down list.
/hhllapi_short_name	Forces Terminal Launcher to connect to the specified HLLAPI session.
/L	Instructs Terminal Launcher to not launch the emulator. Terminal Launcher doesn't launch the emulator but tries to run the script, assuming that the emulator has already been launched.
/kexecutable_name	Kills the specified executable before launching an emulator.
/m	Allows multiple (sequential) connections to particular sessions.
/n	Launches the selected emulator without running a script. This is equivalent to checking the Launch the Emulator Only check box in the main Terminal Launcher window.
/nnumber_1-15	Launches the specified number of sessions without running scripts.
/papplication_name	Runs the specified application. Type the application script name exactly as it is listed in the Terminal Launcher Available Applications list. To run several applications scripts from a shortcut at once, add /panother application name for each extra application. SecureLogin Terminal Launcher can launch up to 15 application scripts at one time, provided there are enough sessions defined for the emulator named in the shortcut dialog box.
/q	Specifies Quiet Mode (no cancel dialog).
/s	Suppresses errors.
/t	Enables unlimited timeout when connecting to an emulator.
/wprocess name	Waits until the specified process name is running before running the script.
/xparameters	Sets HLLAPI session parameters before doing the HLLAPI connect. Not for general use.

The following examples include parameters that Terminal Launcher uses:

Tlaunch.exe /auto
Creates a shortcut that launches the SecureLogin Terminal Launcher.
Tlaunch.exe /auto /eEicon Aviva /pApplication1 /pApplication2
Launches two SecureLogin Terminal Launcher application scripts. The scripts launch two sessions of Eicon Aviva, one named Application1, the other named Application2.
Tlaunch.exe /auto /pTSO
Launches the SecureLogin Terminal Launcher application script named TSO.
Tlaunch.exe /auto /n3
Launches the SecureLogin Terminal Launcher and opens three sessions. The three sessions are whichever emulator was last used with the Launch the Emulator Only option selected and then closed with the Save Settings on Exit option selected.

When an emulator or application is not specified on the command line, Terminal Launcher uses the settings stored in the tlaunch.ini file. You can modify these settings.

Check the Save Settings on Exit check box.
Click Close.
