I am running JMeter in server mode on several NT boxes, and the console/GUI controller on a Sun Solaris box. When starting the console instance I pass this parameter: -Jremote_hosts=test3k,w3kdc,jm1-2003,jm3-2003 ...but when I go to Start Remote Hosts it lists only test3k, w3kdc and jm1. Seems to have trouble parsing the dash "-" in the third machine name.
This appears to be a problem in the handling of command-line arguments by org.apache.avalon.excalibur.cli.CLArgsParser, which may make it tricky to fix...
