Hi Jeremy, Currently Samza does not support accepting from command. After SAMZA-655 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-655> and SAMZA-348 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-348> , you will have other two options - environment variable and stream.
*Then How to pass argument from the properties file?* 1. specify the my.random.config.value=foo in the .properties file 2. in the task init() method, context.getSamzaContainerContext().config.get( "my.random.config.value") Hope this helps.
