Table 2‑4. View Client Command-Line Options and Configuration File Keys (Continued)
Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
view.once --once
Specifies that you do not want View
Client to retry connecting in the case of
an error occurring.
Use --once if you want to obtain a
similar workflow to the View 4.6 client.
This option will force the View client to
exit after the user disconnects or logs off
from a desktop.
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=
Example:
--rdesktopOptions="-f -m"
(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.
None
-r, --redirect=
Example:
--redirect="sound:off"
(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.
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 32.
None
--save
(Available if you use View Client 2.2 or
later) 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.
