<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>Yes, I would like to see both formats ("/"
and "-") supported as well.<br>
<br>
But when the user gets the command line help by typing "mgserver -?"
or<br>
"mgserver --help" (note the double dash), I propose that we only show<br>
the "-" versions of the options. Of course, this is a bit
confusing to<br>
those users who want to figure out what /interactive means; Bruce, why<br>
are we changing "interactive" to "run"? Or will
"mgserver -interactive"<br>
also work?<br>
<br>
<br>
So typing "mgserver --help" outputs:<br>
<br>
The following is a list of supported command line options:<br>
<br>
-? or --help<br>
Displays this information.<br>
<br>
-install <Name><br>
Installs the server as a service. Automatically
starts the<br>
service.<br>
<br>
Default service display name installed:<br>
"MapGuide Server"<br>
<br>
You can use a different display name for the
service if you<br>
specify an<br>
optional "Name".<br>
<br>
-run<br>
Runs the server interactively as an application
instead of a<br>
service.<br>
<br>
-start<br>
Starts the server service. Note: The service
must be installed.<br>
<br>
-stop<br>
Stops the server service. Note: The service must
be installed.<br>
<br>
-testfdo <Filename><br>
Runs the FDO unit tests.<br>
<br>
Default output of the FDO unit tests will be the
console unless<br>
you<br>
specify an optional "Filename". The
output to the "Filename" will<br>
be<br>
in XML.<br>
<br>
-test <Test> /o <Filename><br>
Runs the server unit tests.<br>
<br>
By default all of the unit tests will be run
unless you specify an<br>
optional "Test" to run. If you specify
"List" as the test to run<br>
you<br>
will get a list of the available unit tests.<br>
<br>
Default output of the unit tests will be the
console unless you<br>
specify<br>
an optional "Filename". The output to
the "Filename" will be in<br>
XML.<br>
<br>
-uninstall<br>
Uninstalls an installed server service.
Automatically stops the<br>
service<br>
before uninstalling.<br>
<br>
<br>
Note: Only 1 command line option can be used at a time.<br>

I will be easy enough to support both. I'll update the RFC to reflect<br>
this.<br>

I agree, it's probably not a big issue. It depends on how much work it<br>
would be on Bruce's end to support backwards compatibility. If it would<br>
be relatively easy, then may as well do it. If it would require a large<br>
effort, then the current console response to an incorrect parameter<br>
should be sufficient for users to figure it out on their own.<br>

I am normally a big fan of backwards compatibility too, but I really<br>
don't see this as a big issue. Perhaps if the tool just spits out an<br>
appropriate message if called with incorrect parameters?<br>
<br>
Then again, windows users are most likely used to the / style of adding<br>
parameters so perhaps that makes it worthwhile supporting both?<br>
