$ qgis --help Quantum GIS - 1.3.0-Mimas 'Mimas' (exported) Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a viewer for spatial data sets, including raster and vector data. Usage: /usr/bin/qgis.bin [options] [FILES] options: [--snapshot filename] emit snapshot of loaded datasets to given file [--width width] width of snapshot to emit [--height height] height of snapshot to emit [--lang language] use language for interface text [--project projectfile] load the given QGIS project [--extent xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax] set initial map extent [--nologo] hide splash screen [--help] this text FILES: Files specified on the command line can include rasters, vectors, and QGIS project files (.qgs): 1. Rasters - Supported formats include GeoTiff, DEM and others supported by GDAL 2. Vectors - Supported formats include ESRI Shapefiles and others supported by OGR and PostgreSQL layers using the PostGIS extension $qgis MyPrj.qgs This works. $qgis --project MyPrj.qgs This also works. I find the above explanation a bit confusing. A QGIS project file can appear as an argument to --project and can also appear in the list of FILES. It would appear that the following is valid syntax: $qgis --project MyFirstPrj.qgs MyRaster.tif MyVector.shp MySecondPrj.qgs MyThirdPrj.qgs I haven't tested this, but wonder if it would work and handle projects with different projections? Well rasters in different projections are definitely a problem.
