The commands you wrote only work on Linux.

They are Linux commands, not Mac commands. If I had a need to work from terminal, I would learn 
how to write the appropriate commands for Mac.

No, they don't. You later provided commands for Windows. If your original commands worked for 
Windows, why did you give new commands.

Your original post stated "It may also be of interest to you/others to know what startup 
options are available via the command line."

That post was in response to Roger Stein who uses Windows. Most of the others posting on the 
thread use Windows or Macs. Linux commands are useless to them.

And your instructions only work on Linux, so of no interest to Mac or Windows users. You later 
provided instructions of interest to Windows users.
CLI's that are specific to one OS are of no interest to someone using a different OS.

Yep. They can see that you gave Linux specific instructions to a post by a Windows user, which 
mean they are useless for that person.

Good-bye.
