Command line of Au.Editor.exe
/n as the first argument - don't restart as administrator when started not as administrator. See UAC.
To restart as administrator the program uses Windows Task Scheduler task \Au\Au.Editor. It is created by the setup program. Does not restart if the task is missing or disabled.
/v - show the main window when started, regardless of program settings.
/a - indicates that the program started automatically and therefore must ignore Options > Program > Visible if not auto-started. Used by Options > Program > Start with Windows.
/reload - if the program is running, reload current workspace.
"script name or relative path in current workspace" - run the script. Can be followed by script's command line arguments (the args variable).
"full path of a file or folder" - import it into the current workspace (shows a dialog). Can be multiple files, like "file1" "file2" "file3".
"workspace folder path" - open or import the workspace (shows a dialog).
With the last 3 cannot be used other arguments except /n.
About "run script"
The started Au.Editor.exe process is an intermediate temporary process, not the regular editor process with UI. It just relays the command line to the regular process, waits if need, and exits. Also it starts the regular process if not running. The regular process compiles and starts the script.
Use prefix * to wait until the script ends. While waiting, the parent process can read script's script.writeResult text from standard output of the child process. If parent process is console, it automatically displays the text. Or it can redirect standard output, like run.console does.
For Task Scheduler tasks the Schedule tool sets prefix >. Then Task Scheduler knows when the script process is running and can end it when need.
The exit code of this process when it waits is the script's exit code. The script can simply return it, like return 1; or call Environment.Exit. When does not wait, the exit code is the process id of the script. When fails to run (script not found, contains errors, etc) or wait, the exit code is < 0 (can be -1 to -7).
