UNIX Command Line Arguments for Artemis

As well as the listing file names on the command line, the following switches are available to UNIX users:

-quiet

This option tells Artemis to suppress normal informational messages while running.

-options

This option instructs Artemis to read an extra file of options after reading the standard options. (See the section called The Options File in Chapter 4 for more about the Artemis options file.)

For example -options ./new_options will instruct Artemis to read new_options in the current directory as an options file.

-fast

On Digital Unix (AKA Tru64) the -fast flag selects the "fast" Java virtual machine, which usually gives Artemis a big speed boast. This isn't on by default because the fast VM uses a lot more memory and it isn't as reliable.

-Xmsn -Xmxn

Use -Xmsn to specify the initial size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. This value must be a multiple of 1024 greater than 1MB. Append the letter k or K to indicate kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes.

Use -Xmxn to specify the maximum size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. This value must a multiple of 1024 greater than 2MB. Append the letter k or K to indicate kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes.
