Command Line Support
Forensic Email Collector (FEC) supports loading, starting, and resuming acquisition projects from the command line.
Load an Existing Project
Section titled “Load an Existing Project”In order to load an existing FEC project from the command line, pass the project path as a command line argument as follows:
FEC.exe "<project path>.FECProj"Start / Resume an Existing Project
Section titled “Start / Resume an Existing Project”In order to start or resume an existing project, pass the project path followed by the “-start” argument as follows:
FEC.exe "<project path>.FECProj" -startIf the project had previously been started, this will cause FEC to resume the acquisition.
Run in Silent Mode without User Interaction
Section titled “Run in Silent Mode without User Interaction”FEC can run in silent mode using the “-autoclose” command line argument. This can be used in combination with the “-start” switch to run multiple projects back to back:
FEC.exe "<project path>.FECProj" -start -autoclose
