ClipPool Syntax


One Stepclippool [-?] [/port portNumber | /pickaport] [/info] [/nolocal] [/title "title"] {{/client servername} | /server}

Where:

-?
displays command-line help. Appears in a dialog.
/port portNumber
selects a specific port. Use TCP port n to communicate with the server. If this is specified, it must be specified on the server and all clients. This parameter is useful for allowing multiple clipboard pools to use the same computer as their server. To do this, run a separate instance of ClipPool on the server for each pool, specifying a different port for each instance. The default port is 6042.
/pickaport
selects an available port. Similar to the /port.
/info
displays an information dialog containing the port number currently selected at startup.
/nolocal
prevents ClipPool from interacting with the local clipboard. This is useful on a ClipPool server, especially one running multiple instances of ClipPool. Only one instance of ClipPool can use the clipboard at a time.
/title "title"
sets a custom title for this instance of ClipPool. This is displayed in the tooltip for the taskbar icon. This can be useful for distinguishing between multiple instances of ClipPool on a server.
/client servername
Adds this computer to the clipboard pool, and points it at the ClipPool server, servername. Must be run locally on the client.
/server
Sets this computer as the ClipPool server.
