This does NOT seem to work

Nor does the -c command launch a script at startup, neither does -once prevent celestia from starting another copy. At least not V1.3.1p11 on Window Systems.

A pitty - I thought I've found a way to control celestia from outside.

greets, maxim.

Howdy maxim,

Thank you for reporting this!

I noticed that Selden has already posted this over into the Bugs forum. It must have broke when something else was worked on <sigh>. Hang tight, and let's hope Chris can fix it for the final release!

The actual errors were typos in Preliminary User's FAQ #15 which have been fixed.

Don, you probably should update your posting above to provide the correct options ( --once and -u). Maybe providing just a link to the FAQ entry (which I've included here) would be more appropriate.

Sorry.

Thank you for the update Selden. The initial post now points to the FAQ.
