Changing ILux Client Startup Parameters

When you install ILux, it automatically defines the path to the ILux server, selects a port to connect to the ILux server, and examines your system to identify the path to your default web browser. It is possible that you may want to temporarily change some of these parameters.

You can change the following values when launching the ILux client:

  • ILux server
  • ILux server port
  • Web browser path

To change the client parameters:

  1. Edit the short cut for the command that launches the ILux client.

    For example, in Windows 95, right-click on the shortcut and choose Properties. Then select the Shortcut tab. The Target field displays the default values for launching the ILux client:

    "C:\Program Files\ILux\Client\jre\bin\jrew.exe"
    -classpath "C:\Program Files\ILux\Client\ilux.jar"; "C:\Program Files\ILux\Client\jre\lib\rt.jar"
    -server ILuxApp AGENT99
    -browser "C:\Program Files\Netscape\communicator\Program\netscape.exe"
    -port 1600

  2. Modify the parameters displayed. The options may be abbreviated: -c for -classpath, -b for -browser, and -p for -port. Intermediate abbeviations are not accepted. The options are case-sensitive so they must be lower case. The space between key and value is not required (although quoted strings may require them).
