CallClerk - Command Line Options

CallClerk supports a variety of command line options, these are:

main	opens the CallClerk Main window
dial	opens the CallClerk Dial Out window
dial=phonenumber=	opens the CallClerk Dial Out window ready to dial the identified number
dial clipboard	opens the CallClerk Dial Out window and loads the clipboard's contents as the number to dial
directory	opens the CallClerk Directory window
history	opens the CallClerk History window
settings	opens the CallClerk Settings window
hide	hides the CallClerk Systray Icon
disconnect=ignore	causes CallClerk to ignore the disconnect command from your modem
disconnectremote=ignore	causes CallClerk to ignore the disconnect command sent to your modem from the caller's line
exit	causes CallClerk to exit. If a call or backup is in progress, CallClerk will let it complete before exiting
extrabroadcast	causes CallClerk to perform an extra set of UDP broadcasts on port 10081 when a call is being processed
nohangup	cause CallClerk to never hang up on the caller, relies on the caller to always hang up. Use this option with caution as it may result in otherwise unwanted behaviours - such as the line being left open, especially if the caller does not hang up.
nojournalpopup	causes the pop-up of the Outlook Journal entry to be suppressed when a new Journal Entry is created
notimecheck	causes CallClerk to ignore significant date variations since the last time it was last run
playunreviewed=LIFO playunreviewed=FIFO	Both these commands will play your currently unreviewed messages through your computer's speakers. More specifically, what will be played is: i) a summary of how many unplayed messages you have ii) for each (if any) unplayed message: an announcement letting you know when the call came in and from whom the message iii) (if there were any unplayed messages) a message to let you know there are no more messages to be played The LIFO (Last In First Out) plays the most unplayed recent messages first, the FIFO (First In First Out) plays the oldest unplayed messages first. While playing the unplayed messages the CallClerk History window will be opened. Closing the window will stop the messages from playing. If the CallClerk History window was not already open when you issued the command to play the unplayed messages, it will be automatically closed following the last message being played.
tapicalleridandring=ignore	causes CallClerk to ignore the caller id and ring info in tapi mode
usefilewatcher	by default CallClerk uses network broadcasts to report calls across your network; this option provides for an alternative method in the case where your network broadcasts are being blocked. Using this method requires all your PCs to be sharing the same CallClerk database over your network
whiteicon	causes CallClerk to show its systray icon with a white background - which is easier for some to see

Command line options can be entered through the dos command window or via a windows short cut; the order of the options is not important. If CallClerk is not running it will be started when the command line is entered; if CallClerk is already running the command line options will be applied to the already running version of CallClerk.

Here are some example command line entries are:

"C:\Program Files\CallClerk\CallClerk.exe” dial
