- + The default configuration file name is 'BNS.ini'. You may change this name at startup time using the command line option '--conf <confFileName>'. This allows to run several BNS jobs in parallel on the same host using different sets of configuration options. confFileName stands either for the full path to a configuration file or just for a file name. If you introduce only a filename, the corresponding file will be saved in the current working directory from where BNS is started.
