batch-file rdp mstsc

I'm using RDCM 2.2 (Remote Desktop Connection Manager) want to write a batch script to run RDMC and connect server group in specific time by scheduling this .bat file and close program with Task Scheduler.

I scan through help doc of RDCM, I found nothing except following ;

By default, RDCMan will open the files that were loaded at the time of the last program shutdown. You can override this by specifying a file (or files) explicitly on the RDCMan command line. Additionally, the following switches are accepted:

•/reset - reset the persisted application preferences such as window location and size.

•/noopen - do not open the previously loaded files, start with a blank environment.

I got stuck w/ missing information whether RDCM supports command line parameters or not. Is there any good practice to realize this?

Thanks.

For RDCMan 2.7 I see the following options for the commandline in the helpfile:

Command Line

By default, RDCMan will open the files that were loaded at the time of the last program shutdown. You can override this by specifying a file (or files) explicitly on the RDCMan command line. Additionally, the following switches are accepted:

/reset - reset the persisted application preferences such as window location and size.

/noopen - do not open the previously loaded files, starting with an empty environment.

/c server1[,server2...] - connect specified servers /reconnect - connect all servers that were connected at shutdown without prompting

/noconnect - do not prompt to connect servers that were connected at shutdown
