  • Combining Command Line Arguments Fails

    In trying to specify "/s <script_name>" and "/r" on the same command line call to bit.exe, the "/r" seem to be always ignored whether it precedes or trails the script specification.
    It would appear that to load a script and execute it requires two calls to bit.exe.

    Examples:

    bit.exe /r /s memory # This fails to start the memory test

    bit.exe /s memory
    bit.exe /r # This forces execution of the currently loaded configuration, not limited to memory

    Being able to load a script file specified on the command line is relatively useless unless you can get it to execute.

    Note: Rebooting does not seem to help.

    Is there a setting someplace that suppresses the "/r" in conjunction with other options?

    Additionally further testing has yielded weakness in the parsing of the command line options.
    "/smemory" is not the same as "/s memory". The documentation is not clear on this and a person familiar to Unix/Linux would assume they are equivalent.

    ==============================
    Solved issue:
    "/s memory" and "/s memory.bits" are not equivalent
    If ".bits" is not present, the script is processed to the point of only selecting the "memory" tests.
    If ".bits" is present, execution proceeds as expected.

    Glad you sorted it out.

    I think it is normal that "/smemory" is not the same as "/s memory".

    It is the same as the common Linux command "ls -ls*" not being the same as "ls -l s*". Isn't it?
