eagle ignores command line options

Question

Eagle 6.2 & 6.4

On both linux and windows in both 6.2 and 6.4 I can't get the ealge command line options to have any affect. For example, the trivial "eagle -Cquit" opens eagle and leaves it open. More to my needs, "eagle -Stest.scr" does not execute test.scr. I don't get any error messages or any indication that eagle even saw the command line option. However, if i try "eagle -C" i do get an error: "Missing parameter for option -S"

Can anyone shed some insight into what would cause this kind of behavior, or how to get eagle to execute the script from the command line options?

Thanks!!

George, I observed the same behavior when a drawing or project file was not also specified. Try this: cd /path/to/project eagle -C quit eagle.epf It works as described. Here's an excerpt from the 6.4 user manual, Section 10.3 "EAGLE Options at a Glance" on page 306 of the English version: -C Execute a command After loading an EAGLE file the given command will be executed in the Editor window's command line. See also help function, Command Line Options.
