Description

[ -c <path>, --config-dir=<path> ]

Read config from <path> instead of home

[ -f, --full-daemon ]

Forks to background.

[ -p <path>, --pid-file=<path> ]

After fork, create a pid-file in the <path>. <path> has to contain the filename.

Configure EC (External Connections).

[ -o, --log-stdout ]

Prints log messages to stdout.

[ -r, --reset-config ]

Resets config to default values.

[ --configure-autostart=<on|off> ]

Enable or disable starting amuled on user login, then exit. The OS-specific store is selected automatically: Windows registry Run key, macOS LaunchAgent, Linux XDG .desktop autostart entry.

[ -w <path>, --use-amuleweb=<path> ]

Specify location of amuleweb binary to <path>.

[ -d, --disable-fatal ]

Don't catch fatal exceptions and don't block exit on assertions. Useful for headless / supervised setups (systemd, watchdog scripts) where the otherwise-modal assertion dialog prevents auto-restart.

[ eD2k-link | collection-file ]

Adds an eD2k-link, or every link in an eMule collection file, to the core.

The eD2k link to be added can be:

Alternatively the argument can be the path to an .emulecollection file, or a file:// URL naming one, in which case every link it contains is added to the download queue.  This is what lets a file manager open a collection with aMule.
