FireDaemon Pro services can be exported to or imported from XML service definition files via the command line. In terminal-based or scripted administrative scenarios this is a useful alternative to the GUI-based export/import function.


Single or multiple services can be exported or imported.


For full details of all command-line options, see FireDaemon Pro Command Line Interface.


Note: The command prompt must be run with Administrator rights.

For example, to export via stdout:

firedaemon.exe --export ServiceName ""
