How to Control ABBYY FineReader Server Using the Command Line Interface

FRS.Cli allows you to control ABBYY FineReader Server 14 using the command line interface. FRS.Cli is available in FineReader Server 14 R2U3 and later and is installed into the Bin subfolder together with the Remote Administration Console (the default location of this folder is C:\Program Files\ABBYY FineReader Server 14.0\Bin).

The following four applets are available:

  • Start-Server
  • Stop-Server
  • Create-Station
  • Remove-Station

The Start-Server applet sends a start command to the server.
