> 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
