Title: /server and related doesn't work anymore with version 5 Post by: TiagoTiago on December 02, 2011, 10:34:58 PM (I'm using WinXP if that matters)
I need to start Bitcoin with the /server commandline option so the batch file i created to do scheduled backups of my wallet can issue the backup command in order to safely obtain a copy of the wallet (don't wanna risk it trying to copy the original while it is being written to and ending up with a corrupt backup) (edited to fix the command line, i am using the slash, i just got mixed up while writing the post originally) Title: Re: --server and related doesn't work anymore with version 5 Post by: 2112 on December 02, 2011, 11:06:08 PM I need to start Bitcoin with the --server commandline option "--server" never worked. "-server" worked and continues to work as far as I can see.Title: Re: --server and related doesn't work anymore with version 5 Post by: TiagoTiago on December 03, 2011, 01:43:41 PM Single dash? Isn't that supposed to be only for single letter commands? And isn't it /server? It was working with the slash before the update...
