'''[http://wpkg.org WPKG] flags (for WPKG-0.80-test197):'''
'''/profile:<profile>''' - Forces the name of the current profile. If not specified, the profile is looked up using hosts.xml.
'''/quiet''' - Uses the event log to record all error/status output. Use this when running unattended.
 
'''/nonotify''' - Logged on users are not notified about impending updates.
 
'''/noreboot''' - System does not reboot regardless of need.
 
'''/rebootcmd:<option>''' - Use the specified boot command, either with full path or relative to location of wpkg.js. Specifying "special" as option uses tools\psshutdown.exe from www.sysinternals.com - if it exists - and a notification loop.
'''/force''' - Uses force when performing actions (does not honour wpkg.xml). Handy when you're not sure if your system is "up to date" with the state described in hosts.xml, packages.xml and profiles.xml (i.e., when someone was adding / removing software by other means than WPKG). It will "scan" your system for all possible packages from packages.xml, and then, install and/or uninstall packages, according to profiles.xml / packages.xml / hosts.xml for a given host.
'''/debug''' or '''/verbose''' - Prints some debugging info. Prints everything WPKG does, useful for packet installation debugging (and for new users which need to understand how WPKG works).
'''/dryrun''' - "Simulates" packet installing, without installing anything. Does not execute any action. Assumes /debug on.
'''/help''' - Shows these flags with brief description message.
