You can use either JetstressWin.exe or JetstressCmd.exe to create and run your test scenarios. Both JetstressWin.exe and JetstressCmd.exe use the common Jetstress core library files, which means you'll have comparable test results with the same XML configuration file. With JetstressCmd.exe, you use the /config command-line option. You can also see all the other available options by using the /? (Help) command-line option.
