Program Arguments

QuakeExplorer is invoked with optional arguments specifying program parameters:

Syntax: [javaPath]java -cp classDirectory net.alomax.quakeexplorer.QuakeExplorer [-version] [[-parameter=value]...] [databaseURL]

where -parameter=value are optional QuakeExplorer program parameter-value argument pairs.

(see Running QuakeExplorer for a full explanation of the QuakeExplorer syntax)

argument pairs (* indicates defaults):

-locale=locale Language/locale (en_US* | fr_FR | it_IT)
-search.sites=name1,link1[[;name2,link2];...] semi-colon (;) separated set of QuakeExplorer database search-list names and URL links to these lists
-seisgram2kargs=$arg1[[$arg2]$...] dollar sign ($) delimited list of SeisGram2K program arguments (passed to SeisGram2K when launched as trace viewer); these arguments can also be placed in a sg2kdefaults file in the working directory or the user's home directory
-seismicityargs=$arg1[[$arg2]$...] dollar sign ($) delimited list of Seismicity Viewer program arguments (passed to Seismicity Viewer when launched as trace viewer); these arguments can also be placed in a seismicitydefaults file in the working directory or the user's home directory

The periods "." in the parameter names are optional. QuakeExplorer tries to load program parameters from a default file named ".qedefaults" or "qedefaults" in the current QuakeExplorer database root directory, the user's home directory and the working directory. The format of an entry in a default file is:

quakeexplorer.parameter=value

where parameter and value are any valid QuakeExplorer parameter-value argument pairs listed above. A parameter specified as a command line argument will superceed the same parameter in the defaults file.
