SAProuter Options - Reference

SAProuter provides a number of optional functions. They are represented by a letter that is specified when SAProuter is started, or is sent to an active SAProuter. You can combine most of the options with each other by specifying an administration option and any number of other options.

If an invalid combination of SAProuter options is specified, SAProuter behaves as if only saprouter was specified and displays the online help.

Use the following syntax to specify options:

Syntax UNIX/Windows:saprouter -<option>

Syntax IBM iIBM i:call saprouter ( '<option>' )
