Yes, you can launch Chainsaw from the command line.  

You can also have Chainsaw automatically load a receiver config file on
startup.

Launch from command line: 

Chainsaw's home page
(http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/chainsaw.html) provides a Unix/dos
standalone version (includes .sh and .bat files) and Mac OSX dmg.  If
you expand the chainsaw-bundle.zip file, you'll see the .bat file there.

Give users a configuration that will auto-load a receiver:

Chainsaw's settings files are all stored in $user.home/.chainsaw.  The
'configurationURL' node in chainsaw.settings.xml contains the URL that
will be auto-loaded on Chainsaw start.  Copy a version of this file to
each user's $user.home/.chainsaw directory and when they run Chainsaw,
it will load it automatically.

Subject: Startup parameters for chainsaw

I'm trying to integrate chainsaw as the log viewer for a system we're
putting together. Our users are not familiar with chainsaw, so I'm
looking to make it as easy as possible for them. 

Is there some way I can start chainsaw from the command line and have it
automatically load up a receiver from and XML file?
