Using Autorun

As an alternative to remotely running Cleo LexiCom commands using the command line –s “remote,server” option, the autorun feature can be used to automatically process command files when they appear in a specific directory. Autorun commands are identical to the options available when executing Cleo LexiCom from the command line except for –m, –e, and –s. See Running from the command line.  In fact, the syntax of the command file matches the syntax of the –f path command line option. This feature is different from just executing Cleo LexiCom with command line options because the Cleo LexiCom commands can be generated from a different computer than one on which the Cleo LexiCom software is actually running.

The autorun feature does not need to be specifically enabled. As long as the Cleo LexiCom software is running (either the GUI or –s service), the feature is on. You can modify the default autorun\ directory. See Other system options.  No special naming convention is required for the command files. A command file is deleted when Cleo LexiCom finishes processing the commands.  Only one command file is processed at a time.
