rulesservice.exe

Starts a USoft Rules Service under the conditions specified.

Syntax 1

This syntax uses an equal sign ( = ) between option and value. Each option=value pair requires a separate entry (an entry with its own equal sign):

> RulesService.exe -*option=value* [-*option=value* ...]

Syntax 2

This syntax uses a space between option and value. The name of an option with multiple values needs to appear only once:

> rulesservice.exe -*option value value* ... [-*option value value* ...]

Options

The table below lists command line options available for use with the rulesservice.exe command.

Option	Purpose
`-a port`	Specifies which port the Rules Service is to use. May be omitted when a filepath is specified with the -f option and the filename ends in -port.
`-c name`	Specifies a name for the Rules Service configuration. The name of the configuration file will be name appended with -port.config.
`-config`	Specifies that only a Rules Service configuration file is to be created, and no Rules Service needs to be started. If you use this option, you need to supply a port number.
`-exe`	(Windows only) Indicates that the Rules Service is to be started as a command line process rather than as a Windows service.
`-f filepath`	Specifies a filepath that is the location of the Rules Service configuration file. If filepath ends in a filename ending in -port.config, the -a option may be omitted.
`-gc controlling-host`	Specifies which systems are allowed to configure the Rules Service. This can be an IP address or a Windows system name. More than one controlling-host may be listed. localhost is always allowed to configure a Rules Service.
`-help`	Displays this information and exits.
`-tls`	Indicates that the Rules Service is to be started in Secure Socket mode. This is the equivalent of setting the "Use TLS" flag in a Rules Service item in USoft Binder.
