The ciSync service can basically be started in two ways; with the Net start command or the sc <computer> start command.

Either way, the commands can be altered with arguments. By supplying /? as an argument, the log file is filled with a description of the various possibilities. After showing the parameter syntax, the service stops.

Parameter syntax:

sc [\\computer] start cisync [/debug|/d] [/skipupdate] [/skipreopenports] [/skipcertificatebinding] [/skiploopbacktest] [/deletebeforesync] [/retries=<##>] [/runschedules] [/run=<jobid>[dev:,jobid][dev:..] [/auto] [/priority=low|dev:normal|high|foreground] [/raiselogevents] [/publicurl=<url>] [/startupdelay] [/set|dev:clear]

Parameter	Description
/debug or /d	Run the service in debug mode.
/skipupdate	Skips the update of cisync from parent servers.
/skipreopenports	Skips the reopening of closed/disabled firewall ports after initialization.
/skipcertificatebindings	Skips the binding of SSL certificate to the HTTPS port (if used).
/skiploopbacktest	Skips the loopback test of opened servicehosts.
/deletebeforesync	Deletes obsolete and updateable files on the target before syncing the package if that will leave enogh free space to complete the package.
/retries=1-100	Number of retries on broken connections before trying alternatives. Default is 10.
/runschedules	Runs all scheduled jobs regardless of Last run time.
/run=jobid[dev:,jobid]	Runs one or more jobs immedeately.
/auto	Automatically propagates incoming jobs to all childservers upon completion. Currently available for cms jobs only.
/priority=low\|normal\|high\|foreground]	Forces all jobs to run with this priority.
/raiselogevents	Duplicates the writing of the logfile ciSync.log to the parent server. This is default when connected on a public URL. The file name is %programfiles%\CapaInstaller\Logs\Services\<fqdn>\ciSync_child_<fqdn>.log
/publicurl=url	Adds or changes the public URL for the parent server.
/startupdelay=1-3600	Adds a delay (in seconds) before initializing the service. This argument has no other functionality and is primarily meant for debugging purposes.
/set	Saves the stated arguments in the registry database. From there they will be used as default arguments.
/clear	Clears the default arguments from the registry database.
