where to enter command lines

hi guys,

i'm trying to set up sesame on our server at work, and have managed to confuse myself (surprise surprise) as to where to enter the command lines for setting up the client-server environment.

i'm assuming that i would do this in the shortcut key (under sesame properties after right clicking on the icon), but i'm not sure and don't want to mess anything up.

can anyone confirm if this is where i enter this command line?  i just can't make sense of it from the installation guide.

thanks in advance!

miss doo

I have mine on the Target line of the icon.

open the icon as you described and if your Sesame.exe is in the sesame directory place this on the target line to start the server

C:\Sesame\Sesame.exe -Server (your server name
without the parenthesis)

To start the client

C:\Sesame\Sesame.exe -Client (your server name
without the parenthesis) and then any command line switches for splash or? and then path and db application name


What operating system do you have?

hi bob,

thanks for your reply!

our server is running windows server 2003 for small businesses, and all of our client computers are running XP pro.

so what you're saying is that the target line on the client computers should say:

C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -client (servername)\sesame server (servername) [:port1 :port2]

and for the actual server itself, it should read:

C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -server (servername)\sesame server (servername) [:port1 :port2]

i'm just trying to wrap my brain around this as i set it up, but i'm just confused i guess.  Smiley

This is exactly what I have in the target box of my server icon

C:\Sesame\sesame.exe -server station10

I have not set any port numbers. I decided to start simple and use the default ports.

This is exactly what I use in the target box on my client machines

C:\sesame\sesame.exe -client station10 -splash c:\sesame\pics\ids5.jpg  c:\sesame\data\pmiMM32.db –Closed

The –spalsh tells Sesame to use Image Ids5.jpg for the splash image and the remainder tells Sesame to start my database pmiMM32.db with the command tree closed.

I can not say if this is the exact correct method, however it has worked flawlessly since I set it up. Smiley


PS the – should be a minus sign
