DESCRIPTION

The first configuration file in the sequence: appstart.hostname.cfg -> appstart.domainname.cfg -> appstart.cfg is read when existing.

The hostname is replaced by the %COMPUTERNAME% and domainname is replaced by the %USERDOMAIN% environment variable.

FILEFORMAT

The file format is OPTION=VALUE

Between the OPTION, the = and the VALUE are no spaces.

OPTIONS

SEARCHPATH

base path where the executable that is started by appstart is searched, where the executable is normally specified as "subdirectory\aProgram.exe".

You can use the same additional (environment)variables as in the EXECUTABLE and OPTIONS column in run.cfg(4).

To identify a drive you can also use labels what makes the configuration file settings more independent from the actual drive letters.

See appstart(1) and lpath(3) for a description of labels.

See run.cfg(4) for a description of the environment variables.

Example: SEARCHPATH=USB-DISK:\programs;%INSTALLDRIVE%:\bin

Example: SEARCHPATH=%USERPROFILE%\Documents\programs;%INSTALLDRIVE%:\bin

Example: SEARCHPATH=%USERPROFILE%\Documents\programs;%INSTALLDRIVE%:\programs

Default: SEARCHPATH=%USERPROFILE%\Documents\bin;%ProgramFiles(x86)%;%SystemDrive%\Program Files;%INSTALLDIR%;%INSTALLDRIVE%:\bin;%INSTALLDIR%\bin

PATH_PRE

semicolon separated path prepended to the %PATH% environment variable.

You can use the same additional (environment)variables as in the EXECUTABLE and OPTIONS column in run.cfg(4).

To identify a drive you can also use labels what makes the configuration file settings more independent from the actual drive letters.

See appstart(1) and lpath(3) for a description of labels.

See run.cfg(4) for a description of the environment variables.
