Command line options (Draft)

When starded with no option JSup will show the Application menu.
In production environment it's better to not show the Application menu, but to create a link to run the application.

Run JSup as a client

To create a link to run JSup in client mode:

copy the standard JSup link (created in the Windows Starts menu when JSup was installed) where you want.
edit the copied link and add the following parameters to its command line:
-clientOf <serverAddress>
where serverAddress is the IP address or the DNS hostname of the host where the JSup server is running (to connect with a server instance that is running and the same PC/Server you can use 127.0.0.1 (as IP) or localhost (as hostname).

Run JSup as a service

See Run JSup as a service.
