Command Line Interface

FatRat normally uses D-Bus to check whether there already is a running instance. If you want to bypass this check, launch FatRat like this:

fatrat --force

If you want FatRat to hide its window on startup (into a tray icon), use the following command:

fatrat --hidden

To show a New transfers dialog with some links, pass them as additional arguments:

fatrat "http://link1" "http://link2"

A significant advantage of using this metod when compared to passing via D-Bus is that you don't need to have a running instance for this to work. FatRat will automatically create one if needed.
