CygNet applications and utilities support command-line parameters to set logging options. This replaces existing settings, so if you use it, you will need to specify all desired options.
Note: Changes made in the Client Settings dialog box will not be forwarded to CygNet Studio’s nested views, but command-line parameters will.
