I have two kids with different Minecraft accounts on the same Linux computer.

Previously, I made each of them an icon which ran this:

java -cp ~/minecraft/minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame [email protected] -p=password servername.example.org:3000

with a separate email and password for each kid.

This does not seem to work with the new launcher, which actually has the concept of separate-user profiles, but ironically ends up being quite a bit less elegant than this. (I asked on a minecraft forum site, but only got "why would you want to do that?")

Is there a way to similarly specify the profile to launch and server to connect to on the command line of the new launcher?
