Table 2‑2. Horizon Client Command-Line Options and Configuration File Keys (Continued)
Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
view.monitors --monitors= numbered list
Allows you to specify which adjacent monitors to use
for Horizon Client. Use --allmonitors (or
view.allMonitors) to specify that you want to use full
screen on all monitors, and use --monitors=numbered
list to specify which subset of the monitors to use.
Example of using the command-line option to specify
the rst and second monitors in a conguration where
3 monitors are set next to each other horizontally:
--allmonitors --monitors="1,2" `
To help distinguish which physical monitor is
associated with a monitor icon in the client UI, a
rectangle is displayed at the top left corner of the
physical monitor you had specied to use. The
rectangle has the corresponding color and number that
is used in the icon for the chosen monitor.
view.nomenubar --nomenubar
Suppresses the Horizon Client menu bar when the
client is in full screen mode, so that users cannot access
menu options to log o of, reset, or disconnect from a
View desktop. Use this option when conguring kiosk
mode.
If you are seing the conguration key, specify "TRUE"
or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
view.nonInteractive -q, --nonInteractive
Hides unnecessary UI steps from end users by skipping
the screens that are specied in the command line or
conguration properties.
If you are seing the conguration key, specify "TRUE"
or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
Seing this property to "TRUE" is the equivalent of
seing the view.autoConnectBroker and
view.autoConnectDesktop properties to "TRUE".
Example of using the command-line option:
--nonInteractive
--serverURL="https://view.company.com"
--userName="user1" --password="-"
--domainName="xyz"
--desktopName="Windows 7"
view.once --once
Species 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 nd it dicult to kill the
vmware-view process remotely.
If you are seing the conguration key, specify "TRUE"
or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
view.rdesktopOptions --rdesktopOptions=
(Available if you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol) Species 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"
