The bot allows certain command line parameters to be passed to it when starting up. The Director uses these when it sends your email, server, delay, etc. to the bot when launching it.

Please note that until we get the source code upgraded for Zinc 4.0 compatibility, command line parameters will not work with Linux binary builds. This is a limitation in the program we're using now to compile them. Sorry, we hope to rectify this very soon!
