> I am trying to open a CSS Phoebus screen and I want to pass the value of a macro from the command line at startup. How can I do this? Amongst your options: Add the file and macros to the command line, phoebus.sh -resource file:/path/to/file?MACRO1=value+1&MACRO2=ab Or create predefined macros in a my_settings.ini file: org.csstudio.display.builder.model/macros=<EXAMPLE_MACRO>Value from Preferences</EXAMPLE_MACRO> .. and then start with that settings file: phoebus.sh -settings /path/to/my_settings.ini Or define the macro as environment variables, since macros fall back to them export EXAMPLE_MACRO=SomeValue export ANOTHER_MACRO=SomeOtherValue phoebus.sh
