Sender command line options on Windows
The Windows Sender is comprised of two processes, one of which runs as a Windows Service. When
the remote computer boots, the installed services are typically started. The service process,
rgsendersvc.exe will then start the RGS Sender process rgsender.exe. When the RGS Sender is
installed, an entry is added in the Windows Registry for the Remote Graphics Sender service.
rgsender.exe supports the following options passed to it via registry parameters to rgsendersvc.exe
(see the registry editing instructions below):
[-nocollab]
[-timeout value]
[-authtimeout value]
[-l logSetupFile]
[-v | -ver | -version]
[-h | -help | -?]
[-belownormal | -normal | -abovenormal | -high]
[-Rgsender.propertyname=value]
The functionality of each option is as follows:
-nocollab—Disables collaboration. When specified, only the primary user can connect to the Sender.
-timeout value—The timeout in milliseconds used to detect and disconnect an inactive connection.
This option sets the property Rgsender.Network.Timeout.Error. See
Network tab on page 61 for
more details.
-authtimeout value—The timeout in milliseconds used to detect and notify the user of a network
disruption. This option sets the property Rgsender.Network.Timeout.Dialog. See
Network tab
on page 61 for more details.
-l logSetupFile—Specifies the "logSetupFile" file used to describe various logging parameters for
Sender error and informational output. This file is used to determine where the output goes (to a file
or to standard error) as well as the type of output logged (INFO or DEBUG). At installation, the
Sender default is with "-l logSetup" turned on, where the logSetup file in the installation directory is
set for output to a file named rg.log at INFO debug level.
[-v | -ver | -version] —Prints the Senders version information and is useful from a command window.
[-h | -help | -?] —Prints a listing of the various command line options, those that are listed on this
page and is useful from a command window.
-belownormal —Sets the process priority of the Sender to below normal.
-normal —Sets the process priority of the Sender to normal. This is the default priority.
-abovenormal —Sets the process priority of the Sender to above normal.
-high —Sets the process priority of the Sender to high.
-Rgsender.propertyname=value—Can be used to specify one or more RGS Sender properties. See
RGS properties on page 113 for general information on RGS properties. For information specifically
on RGS Sender properties, see
RGS Sender properties on page 135
regedit can be used to modify the parameters that are used for starting the Sender by the Sender
service as follows:
