Remote execute MinimServer with psexec - Bummer - 12-06-2020 20:48
Hi Simon,
I would like to start MinimServer on my Windows Audioserver with psexec64 remotely. When I use this command-line:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_251\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\Program Files\MinimServer\lib\mserver.jar"
MinimServer starts without configuration and with a different name = MinimServer [Audioserver].
I think this happens because MinimServer doesn`t use the startup directory location to compute the location of its configuration files. Please could you give me the complete command-line, including the startup directory, which is in my case: "C:\Program Files\MinimServer\lib"
Thank you very much in advance
Martin

The startup directory should be "C:\Program Files\MinimServer\lib" and the display name MinimServer[Audioserver] is the default if the hostname of your machine is Audioserver. You can change this name by setting the displayName property on the Properties page.

Yes, but regarding the start up directory, I have to use the right command to pass it over. It has something to do with -w. So what is the complete and exact command-line including the start up directory?

You need to add -w "C:\Program Files\MinimServer\lib" to the command you are using currently.
For example, the command would be something like:
psexec64 my-remote-computer -w "C:\Program Files\MinimServer\lib" "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_251\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\Program Files\MinimServer\lib\mserver.jar"

I found it out too!
What I didn't know was, where I had to place the -w argument into the row. After some attempts it worked.The only difference to a manual start on the remote PC is, that the minim watch icon is not to be seen.
Thanks for your help
