win2k FYI

[Michael Chandler <mi...@browning.com>]

As far as I can tell, Jmeter is working sufficiently, on win2k, when I
chose the 'start' menu option to run my test. Even though I am starting
rmiregestry from the sdk bin folder, I cannot do a 'remote start'. It
gives me a 'bad call to remote host' error message. I can run it on my
XP box with the remote start with no problem (I am including
%JMETER_CMD_LINE_ARGS%). I don't think its  because I'm using the
-server switch on the win2k box.
I just answered part of this with another test. If I include the
%JMETER_CMD_LINE_ARGS%, which is set to '%', then I can run remote.
Please explain to me what the significance is of this variable. 
Below is the log after picking 'remote start' from the menu before
including %JMETER_CMD_LINE_ARGS%:
