Command-line Parameters

ConfigChecker understands the following command line options which can be specified in any order.

-i filename

Specifies the file that contains the instructions to be executed. This start parameter is required.

-o filename

Specifies the file to which the output (i.e. the report) must be written. This start parameter is optional. If omitted the report will be written to stdout.

-v filename

Specifies the file that contains variable settings. This start parameter is optional. This file can be used to define variable values that are referred to in the instructions set. That allows to re-use the same instruction set(s) in slightly different environments.

-xsl [filename]

Specifies that the generated report should contain a processing instruction for an XSL style-sheet. That allows to display it immediately in a browser. The optional filename specifies the XSL file to refer to. If no filename is given then the default cocheck_default.xsl is used. This start parameter is optional.

-rm

Minimum report. Only the <Output> section will be reported. This start parameter is optional.

-rd

Default report. Only the <Header> and <Output> sections will be reported. This start parameter is optional.

-re

Enhanced report. The <Header> and <Intput> and <Output> sections will be reported. This start parameter is optional.

-rf

Full report. All available data will be reported. This start parameter is optional.

-q

Sets the quiet mode. That is, no processing monitor window will be shown. This could be useful on Unix servers where no GUI components are supported. This start parameter is optional.

-no

Specifies to write no output. Usually that is only useful if ConfigChecker is used embedded inside another application. This start parameter is optional.

-a filename

Specifies a file that contains authentication credentials for particular URLs or realm. This start parameter is optional. If a remote file with a protected URL is to be worked on, ConfigChecker can automatically authenticate if the credentials are specified in the file specified with the -a option.
