Hi.

Is any possibility to run Tiny PXE Server from CMD/PowerShell script so that it starts working according to the configuration from the config.ini file without having to press the Online button?

 

I can always prepare some AutoIt script but maybe this option is embedded but I missed it?

 

To close application from script I can always use taskkill or Stop-Process.

I haven't played around with Tiny PXE Server for a while, but doesn't the start option in config.in work (see here)

P.s. I don't think I've ever started Tiny PXE Server from CMD and definitely never from a powershell script, so honestly don't know if it will work. Give it a try and feedback.

P.p.s. You can alternatively try running Tiny PXE as a service if that suits your setup (see here

And there is also a (probably) non documented /start command line option which is there since (about) day 1 actually

 

Thus, because I never really worked on it I would rather trust the config.ini to handle this.

 

By popular demand, I can add some switches on the command line although parsing a command line is not my favorite hobby...

Hi.
I don't know how I missed start=1 option in config.ini manual
I checked pxesrv.exe /start and it works as I need too.

So @misty, @erwan.l thank you for your help.

Tiny PXE Server project is great job.
