Running
Easy Notes can be run manually, e.g. by shortcut Start|Programs|Easy Notes|Easy Notes,
or with taken of the auto-run function - see Settings.
Command Line Parameters
| Parameter |
Action |
| allow_multiple |
If you close Easy Notes with taken of Task Manager or any
similar utility without notifying Easy Notes about it, you will be unable to
run it for current session in the standard way. To run it anyway, run Easy
Notes with allow_multiple parameter. |
| runchkdta |
If you would like to force Easy Notes to run data check
on startup without using "Settings|Options|Run data check on next start", run
Easy Notes with runchkdta parameter. You should not run data check,
unless it is necessary. |
| nodelay |
To resolve race for resources problem with other auto-run
applications, it is possible delay start of Easy Notes. In case, you've set
interval that is too long, use nodelay parameter to disable it
temporarily. |
| shutdown |
In case you need to shutdown already running Easy Notes,
use this parameter. |
| wait_for_shutdown |
This parameter acts similarly to shutdown
parameter, but it waits until the process terminates, ensuring that all opened
handles are closed. Exit code is OK (0) or STILL_ACTIVE (259) in case, that it
was not possible to terminate the process in two minutes. This is valid for
NT systems. For Windows 9x, it acts exactly the same as the shutdown
parameter. |
| /backup |
With this parameter, Easy Notes will backup main data
file regardless of settings. If there's already a running instance of Easy
Notes, the exit code is S_OK (0), or S_FALSE (1) in case of corrupted file, or
E_UNEXPECTED (-2147418113) in case of unexpected error. You can combine this
parameter with others such as e.g. shutdown. When combined with
wait_for_shutdown, the exit code will refer to
wait_for_shutdown. The backup copy can be made right on startup, or
at the runtime. In latter case, the file is not closed prior making the copy.
|
| Unrecognized parameter |
Any unrecognized parameter is interpreted as a file name
and subsequently opened in DocPad. |
| No parameter |
If Easy Notes already run, you may not run it once again
in one session. Doing so will only bring your notes to the front; this can
vary with used version of Windows. |
