Is it possible to start a RDC connection using command line parameters?

I am attempting to automate something for my users.

For example, in Windows I could type in: mstsc /v servername and it would
connect directly to the servername.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike!

Launch the Terminal application and type "man open".

While you can't pass parameters to an application as you would with
Windows, you can create and save a connection file that contains the
parameters you want.

Hope this helps!
