You can use the replication command prompt utilities to configure and start replication agent activity. Command prompt utilities are installed automatically with Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000. The replication agent files are located under \Microsoft SQL Server\80\Com. This table lists the replication utility names and file names.
| Command Prompt Utility | File Name |
|---|---|
| Replication Snapshot Agent Utility | snapshot.exe |
| Replication Distribution Agent Utility | distrib.exe |
| Replication Log Reader Agent Utility | logread.exe |
| Replication Queue Reader Agent Utility | qrdrsvc.exe |
| Replication Merge Agent Utility | replmerg.exe |
Note You can modify agent settings by changing the command line available for each agent when administering replication agents through Replication Monitor. To access that command line, right-click a specific agent, click Agent Properties, click the Steps tab, and then double-click the Run Agent step.
