-zate

This is similar to the other -z switches (variations on hiding the window) except that it carries over to after the connection with the server is established. This would mainly be useful if you were confident that the combination of the server login startup commands and the ATE login text (as specified in the ATE configuration or specified via the -logintext switch described above) will result in launching a program that creates its own window. (Or perhaps carries out a task that you don't want to make visible.)
