• --bot_root. Root folder for all bot configuration data
• --config [path to configuration file]. Specifies the configuration file to use to run the client. See Configuration for more details of configuration settings
• --cformat [yaml|json|xml]. Optionally specifies the format of the config file. If not specified programy will use file extension to work out the format
• --logging [path to logging configuration file]. Path to logging configuration file
• --noloop. Do not enter conversation loop. Only useful when debugging program start up. Program will run through startup, load configuration, and all grammars and then exit.
