MSM (Manitou System Manager)

Description:   Manitou System Manager
App Type:      MSM
Start Status: Manual Start
EXE path:      (must be specified)
Logger:         (must be blank)
Parameters:

-Config	Optional parameter which runs the MSM in configuration mode to allow addition/removal of system configurations. This parameter must be added to change the configuration then removed to run the MSM (or use separate shortcuts).
-LoadBroker	Optional parameter to enable the Load Broker button/menu item. This is for internal, debugging purposes only and should not be used at customer sites.
-Operator	Optional parameter which runs the MSM in operator mode. In this mode, the Stop service or process button/menu item is disabled so that the operator cannot stop any system components.
-Small	Optional parameter which runs the MSM using smaller process status icons for systems that have a large quantity of Manitou processes in a single given configuration.
-repmon	Optional parameter which enables the replication monitoring
-isDBProtected	Optional parameter which assumes the SQL Server is protected and doesn't check for the MMonitor service.
-skipversioncheck	Optional parameter which skips the version check for the MMonitor service.

Command Line
The MSM can be run in command line mode to automate the starting and stopping of services.

Note: Only Windows services are supported in command line mode. User processes can only be controlled in Windows mode.

-MsmConfig <Name>	Optional parameter to specify the MSM configuration to load. If the parameter is omitted the MSM attempts to load the active configuration if one exists.
