Additional Options
The additional options — with one exception — are indicated by uppercase letters. They can be combined with each other and with an administrative option, as long as this makes sense. Most additional options are used when the SAProuter is started. The ways in which the options can be combined are indicated in the sections in which they are described.
If an invalid combination of SAProuter options is specified, SAProuter behaves as if only saprouter was specified and displays the online help.
The additional options can also be omitted, as there are default values that are specified for each option.
The administrative options that are sent to a running SAProuter are described in Administrative Options.
The following options are available:
