Launching X-Feeder from Command LineLaunching X-Feeder from Command Line

The latest update of X-Feeder (as of 16th July 2009) now allows you to start X-Feeder from the command line or create a shortcut (program link) to launch it with username and password already entered.

Please note that our hands are tied with BetFair security requirements, so our program ought not to save your username or password anywhere on your computer.

To generate a command line string use "Command Line Settings" in "Start-up Options" tab.
