Using Kingfisher from the command line

Kingfisher can be accessed via the command line to run rules that have already been created in the GUI. You can also run Kingfisher directly from the command line.

The executable used for running Kingfisher from the command line is “Kingfisher.Commandline.exe”

Using Job Definition File

This is the preferred and safest method to run Kingfisher from the command line, this method ensures you set up the job correctly and you are sure of what it does.

If you create a Job in Kingfisher, an xml Job Definition file is automatically created in the “conditions” folder in the installation Directory.

Note: When using the command line option, the xml file can actually be stored in a different location if required. e.g. c:\mydocuments\1001.xml. Thus, a working copy of definitions can be stored in a different (possibly less secure) location to the original.

Usage:

Kingfisher.Commandline.exe -jobfile=“..\\conditions\\1001.xml”
