Table 2‑4. Horizon Client Command-Line Options and Configuration File Keys (Continued)
Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
view.once --once
Specifies that you do not want Horizon Client to retry
connecting in the case of an error occurring.
You should usually specify this option if you use kiosk
mode, and use the exit code to handle the error.
Otherwise, you might find it difficult to kill the
vmware-view process remotely.
If you are setting the configuration key, specify "TRUE"
or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
view.rdesktopOptions --rdesktopOptions=
(Available if you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol) Specifies command-line options to forward to
the rdesktop application. For information about
rdesktop options, see the rdesktop documentation.
Example of using the command-line option:
--rdesktopOptions="-f -m"
None
-r, --redirect=
(Available if you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol) Specifies a local device that you want
rdesktop to redirect to the View desktop.
Specify the device information that you want to pass to
the -r option of rdesktop. You can set multiple device
options in a single command.
Example of using the command-line option:
--redirect="sound:off"
view.rdpClient --rdpclient=
(Available if you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol) Specifies which type of RDP client to use. The
default is rdesktop. To use FreeRDP instead, specify
xfreerdp.
NOTE To use FreeRDP, you must have the correct
version of FreeRDP installed, along with any applicable
patches. For more information, see “Install and
Configure FreeRDP,” on page 42.
None
--save
Saves the user name and domain name that were last
used to successfully log in so that you do not need to
enter the user name or domain name the next time you
are prompted to supply login credentials.
view.sendCtrlAltDelToLocal
None (Available if you use the VMware Blast or PCoIP
display protocol) When set to "TRUE", sends the key
combination Ctrl+Alt+Del to the client system rather
than opening a dialog box to prompt the user to
disconnect from the View desktop. Default is "FALSE".
NOTE If you use the Microsoft RDP display protocol,
you can achieve this functionality by using the -K
option; for example, vmware-view -K.
This option has the same priority as the setting in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config file.
view.sendCtrlAltDelToVM
None (Available if you use the VMware Blast or PCoIP
display protocol) When set to "TRUE", sends the key
combination Ctrl+Alt+Del to the virtual desktop rather
than opening a dialog box to prompt the user to
disconnect from the View desktop. Default is "FALSE".
This option has a higher priority than the setting in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config file.
