Remote command line control of PG4UW
PG4UW can accept set of commands from the command line (command line parameters). The
remote control can be achieved also by these command line parameters, but more efficient
way is to use special tool pg4uwcmd.exe, which has many advantages. The main advantage
is size of the PG4UWCMD, which result the calling of PG4UWCMD results a much faster
response than calling of PG4UW directly.
Program pg4uwcmd.exe can be used to:
1. start PG4UW application with specified command line parameters
2. force command line parameters to PG4UW that is already running
Very good feature of pg4uwcmd.exe is its return code according to command line parameters
operation result in PG4UW.
Return values of pg4uwcmd.exe
If the command line parameters processed in PG4UW were successful, the ExitCode (or
ErrorLevel) of pg4uwcmd.exe is zero. Otherwise the ExitCode value is number 1 or more.
Return value of program pg4uwcmd.exe can be tested in batch files.

/Prj:<file_name>
