Command Line Options

K-Secure VPN^™ Client has a number of command line options to help automate its use in either batch files or from the command prompt.

KsVpn.exe [options]

Service Control Options

• -s: start the service
• -t: stop the service
• -i: install the service
• -u: uninstall the service
• -x: stop the service and kill all UI instances

The options listed above may be combined together so multiple operations are carried out in a single command. For example, the command "KsVpn.exe -istu" will cause the service to be installed, started, stopped and then uninstalled (not very practical, but serves as a good example).
