Command-line Arguments
There are times that you may want to run WinRescue from another program, like, with a scheduler or a batch file. WinRescue can be run in this way with certain parameters. Here is how you do it.
When passing the filename, add " schedule" (that is a space and the word, schedule) to the end of the filename. So it should look something like, c:\winres~2\rescue.exe schedule, depending on where WinRescue is located. If there is a space in the filename, quote marks should be put around the filename and path only, for example, "C:\Program Files\WinRescue\Rescue.exe" schedule. Using "schedule" without any additional parameters will run the Automated options that are set to "Use Scheduler".
If you would like to run certain functions, you can add the following parameters.
To have it run Start and Wait use 's' or 'S'.
To run Config1 use '1'.
To run Config2 use '2'.
To run Config3 use '3'.
To run Config4 use '4'.
To encrypt Backup files with a password use 'p' or 'P' and the password.
These parameters must come after the 'schedule' parameter and must all be separated by a space. You can use more than one, but each must be separated by a space. So if you wanted the Scheduler to run WinRescue and backup Config2 and Config4 and do RegPack, the command line would look like, '"C:\WinRescue\rescue.exe" schedule 2 4 r' (without ').
