Command Line Interface

| ## Command Line Interface |

FatRat normally uses D-Bus to check whether there already is a running instance. If you want to bypass this check, launch FatRat like this:

    fatrat --force  # (or -f)

If you want FatRat to hide its window on startup (into a tray icon), use the following command:

    fatrat --hidden  # (or -i)

FatRat can be started with no GUI at all, which may be useful for those who want to run it as a daemon.

    fatrat --nogui  # (or -n)

To show a New transfers dialog with some links, pass them as additional arguments:

    fatrat "http://link1" "http://link2"

To see the basic description of command line options, use `-h` or `--help` or see the man(1) page

A significant advantage of using this metod when compared to passing via D-Bus is that you don't need to have a running instance for this to work. FatRat will automatically create one if needed.
