Does the SignatureTool contain a command line version?

Article Information: Yes it does. Running the SignatureTool directly from the command line allows you to add some extra parameters to speed up the signing process if desired. Note, however, that it is not possible to fully automate the signature tool via the command line utility, as the password will still need to be manually entered when executed, for security reasons.

The command line usage is described below:

Usage: SigningAuthority [-a][-c][-C][-f [-d] inputFile][-r directory ][-help] ( codFile (codFile) ... | csiFile )

There are several command line parameters available.

-a is used when you want the program to automatically request for signatures.
-c is used when you want the program to close after requesting signatures if no errors occurred.
-C is used when you want the program to close regardless of its success.
-r is used when you want to recurse through a directory grabbing ALL cod files in the underlying directories.
-f is used when you want to use a file to specify which cod files to load instead of using the command line.
-d is used in conjunction with the -f option to delete the temporary file passed in as part of the -f option.
