Shogun Live supports the following command line options:
| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--help` | List supported command line options. |
| `--log arg` | Set logging level to one of [`Off, Always, Error, Warn, Info, Default, Debug`]. The default value is `Default`.
Setting to `Off` turns off all logging. Other options enable logging at that level of priority or higher.
For example, at `Default` level, messages at levels `Always, Error, Warn, Info`, and `Default `are logged to file.
Unless the **Advanced Options** panel is shown from the Log context menu, the Log view in the application always hides messages at levels `Default` and `Debug`. |
| `--crash-handler arg` | Set the crash handler [`omg, quiet, system`]. The default value is `omg`.
`omg` - Use the OMG Error Reporting tool to send a report to Vicon support (requires internet access)
`quiet` - Suppress any error dialogs on crash, and save a report to *C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\ErrorReporting*
`system` - Default Windows handling of crashes |
| `--input-file arg` | Specify an input filename. |
| `--terminal-port arg` | Specify a port number for the Live API terminal server (the default is 52800). |
| `--log-dir arg` | Specify a directory in which to save the log file (overrides default location). The default value is `C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\Shogun1.#\Log` |
| `--max-log-files arg` | Set the maximum number of log files to keep. The default value is `20`. |
| `--system-ip-address` | Set the host IP address to use for the Vicon system. The default value is `192.168.10.1`. |
| `--no-version-prompt` | Suppress prompt to update if not running the latest application version. This may be useful when running as a headless service. |
| `--no-splash` | Do not show the splash screen. |
| `--agent-host-ip=` | Where `host IP` is the IP address of the machine. Used to extract a subnet for harvesting network interfaces when setting up multi-machine Shogun processing. For details, see [Run Shogun processing on multiple machines](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ShogunLive121/pages/1253212219). |
