As usual, now I am slightly more confused than I was before I asked.
On Windows, I update TexLive periodically from a batch file, and wanted to have that same batch file also reconfigure Lyx (I assume it is necessary or at least a good idea to do so after updating Latex). My simple minded question was whether there was a command (like: Lyx --reconfigure) that I could insert into the batch file after the TexLive updating finished. My question was about WINDOWS, since on Linux I prefer to update using the internal updating system (Update Manager on Ubuntu 10.10), even though they are /far /behind on their package updating.

In lyx 2.0, the right command line is

For whatever reason -batch did not exist in 1.6 (BTW, shouldn't it be
--batch?)

it would trigger avelanche of changes, because then it must be --batch=
and so on.

What would you put after the = ??

ok in this case no, but if you want to be consistent many things should be changed then, like all -string switches -> --string switches; switches like -dbg -export have argument and should have '=' if we want to work in the same vein as most of
nowadays linux commandline works.


A 2.0 version might an excuse for this kind of annoying changes.
