When starting up, the FSE Management Console client reads the initialization file for the current user. This file contains all the current settings made by this user during the last session, for example, defined systems with connection details and settings from the Settings dialog. The environment of the client is restored to its original state - the stored settings are applied and the corresponding system objects are added to the tree. If a password has been previously saved for a system, the FSE Management Console client tries to reconnect silently, otherwise the Connection dialog appears.

The location of the FSE Management Console client initialization file is platform-dependent.

Linux specific

On the Linux platform, the full pathname of the initialization file is $HOME/.qt/guicltrc. The value of $HOME is the full pathname of the home directory of the respective user: /root for the root user and

/home/UserLoginName for other users).

Windows specific

On the Windows platform, the full pathname of the initialization file is

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\guicltrc.

The command-line options of the FSE Management Console client are the same on all supported platforms.

Usage:

guiclt [-l <logfile>] [-P <objectpath>] [-d<level> -D<object>] -l <logfile> - does logging into the specified <logfile>;

-P <objectpath> - opens only the specified tree branch in the window; -d<level> -D<object> - specifies the debug level.
