Command line switches are used to specify EMUE settings when running EMUE from a Windows shortcut, batch file, or scheduled job. Switches are specified by using a forward slash ("/") or dash ("-"), the switch name followed by a space, and the desired value in quotation marks. Below is a list of command line switches and how they are used by EMUE.

StartMinimized
|
This switch is used to instruct EMUE what size window to open when it executes. A value of “Yes” will cause EMUE to open in a smaller sized window, allowing for easier viewing of multiple scripts. When valued with a “No”, or if it is left out of the command line, EMUE opens a full sized window.

|
This switch identifies the file containing the EMUE script that EMUE will process.
