Starting the Zulu Mission Control Client

The Zulu Mission Control (ZMC) client executable file is located in the root directory of the ZMC installation path (ZMC_HOME).

If the ZMC_HOME directory is in the PATH environment variable, you can start the ZMC client by entering zmc at the command-line prompt (shell). Otherwise, you have to specify the full path to the ZMC executable:
  • ZMC_HOME\zmc.exe (Windows)
  • ZMC_HOME/zmc (Linux)
  • ZMC_HOME/Zulu\ Mission\ Control.app/Contents/MacOS/zmc (macOS)

Passing JVM Options To the ZMC Launcher

ZMC is a Java application, and the ZMC client executable is a launcher for this application. ZMC startup is controlled by options specified in the zmc.ini file, which is located in the ZMC_HOME directory. Arguments to the -vmargs option in the zmc.ini file are options that are passed to the JVM running the ZMC application. You can specify these options to control the way this JVM runs. If you do not want to modify the zmc.ini file, you can specify JVM options on the command line as arguments to the -vmargs option of the zmc command.

To start the ZMC client with your own set of JVM options (overriding those specified in the zmc.ini file), run the following command (separate multiple arguments with spaces):

zmc -vmarg arguments

Note:

If other options are specified for the zmc command, the -vmargs option must be specified last.

To start the ZMC client with additional JVM options (appending them to those specified in the zmc.ini file), run the following command (separate multiple arguments with spaces):

zmc --launcher.appendVmargs -vmarg arguments

Using a Workspace Directory

If you want to copy your settings for the ZMC client to another computer or another user, or use different predefined settings for different applications, add the -data command-line option and define a workspace directory when you start the ZMC client:

zmc -data workspace-directory
