MeshCommander Command Line Switches

To make Mesh Commander run as a stand-alond tool, you will need NW.js (http://nwjs.io/). It's basically a browser frame that allows web applications to run natively. Once you get NW.js installed, open "commander.htm". MeshCommander will accept the following command line arguments:

-kvmviewonly		Remote desktop will not allow mouse & keyboard input.
-host:[hostname]	Directly connect to a target host. If user/pass arguments are not provided, Kerberos will be used.
			The following arguments are only valid if -host is specified

	-user:[username]	Username to use to connect to Intel AMT is digest mode.
	-pass:[password]	Password to use to connect to Intel AMT in digest mode.
	-tls			Connect with TLS security enabled (Currently, Intel AMT certificate is ignored)
	-kvm			Go directly into remote desktop mode and connect to hardware KVM.
	-kvmfull		Go directly into full screen remote desktop and connect to hardware KVM.
	-kvmonly		Go directly into full screen remote desktop, don't do any extra WSMAN calls.
            -kvmenc:n               KVM encoder flags, the sum of the numbers below:
                                        1 = Run Length Encoding (RLE). If not set, RAW mode is used. RLE always recommanded.
                                        2 = 16 bits per pixel. If not set, 8 bits per pixel is used.
                                        4 = Gray scale mode. If not set, color mode is used. Gray scale is only supported on some platforms.
                                        8 = Enable ZLIB compression. If not set ZLIB is not used. Control over ZLIB is only supported on some platforms.
                                       16 = Gray scale half-mode, 4 bits per pixel (16 grays). Ignored unless doing KVM in gray scale mode.
            -kvmdec:n               KVM downscaling (decimation) modes. One of the numbers below. This is only supported on some platforms.
                                        0 = Not set
                                        1 = Disabled
                                        2 = Automatic
                                        3 = Enabled
	-sol			Go directly into terminal and connect to Serial-over-LAN. 
	-script:[file]		Run a script targeting [hostname].
	-autoexit		Run a script and exit when done.
	-ignoretls		Causes TLS certificate check to be skipped.

-list:[listfile]	Loads a list of computers into Mesh Commander. The format of the file is JSON like this.
			For Kerberos, set the user to "*" and password to empty. "name" is optional.

	{
	  "computers": [
	    { "name": "FriendlyName", "host": "hostname", "user": "admin", "pass": "password1", "tls": 0 },
	    { "host": "hostname1", "user": "admin", "pass": "password2", "tls": 1 },
	    { "host": "hostname1", "user": "*", "pass": "", "tls": 1 }
	  ]
	}

	Along with -list:[listfile], you can also use:

	-script:[file]		Run a script targeting all of the computers in [listfile].
	-autoexit		Run a script and exit when done.
	-ignoretls		Causes TLS certificate check to be skipped.

-debug			Starts MeshCommander with the debug console window visible.
-wsmantrace		Display all WSMAN traffic in the debug console.
-norefresh		MeshCommander will not periodically poll for updates.
-redirtrace		Display all redirection data channel data to the debug console window.
-kvmdatatrace		Display KVM data channel data in the debug console window.
-kvmonly		MeshCommander will only get minimal data from Intel AMT in order to only support KVM.
-logfile:log.txt	Log everything from the debug console windows into a text file.
-noredirdisconnect	Don't auto-disconnect redirection session with performing certain power commands.
