Enabling console tasks

The lfet.bat startup file automatically ge­ne­ra­ted du­ring installation is designed to launch LF‑ET as an ap­pli­ca­tion with a graphical user interface. A console is not visible in the case of this standard operation type.

However, if LF‑ET is to be used without a user interface, it makes sense to display the console in order to be able to see information about the processing progress or problems encountered.

Under Windows, the startup file lfetconsole.bat is provided for this, which was also ge­ne­ra­ted automatically du­ring the installation of LF‑ET. It differs from lfet.bat only in the way Java is called:

To use the functions described in the next sections, simply call the file lfetconsole.bat followed by the corresponding arguments.

The console output can be saved as a file if " > file-name" is added after the last argument.
