Cobian Backup 5 Help file |
The command line utilityA command line utility is deployed with this version. You find the command line utility on your program directory. The name of the executable is cobline.exe To use the command line utility, simple write in a DOS prompt: cobline.exe "ListName" [/Q] List name is the full path and file name of the list you want to backup. If this a long file name, you must surround it between quotes ("). An optional parameter /Q indicates that the program must exit when it terminates. If /Q is not present, you must press any key to exit the program when it ends. Example: cobline.exe "c:\my lists\list1.lst" /Q If you start the program without parameters, the program will prompt you the list name. You must then enter it manually. Because of lack of time, I have no plans to continue the development of the command line utility . All the big changes that I'll make to the engine will NOT be introduced on the command line. In fact, the command line is a very "quick and dirty" adaptation of the engine, with some fixes that made possible the conversion of a multithreaded Windows program into a console program. So use the command line utility as a limited version of the real engine. |
