when i run the following:
ardour2 20101003
ardour starts up with that date filled out in a new session text field. what would be cool is if i could specify the session as an argument and have ardour start up with that session opened already. is this possible? or maybe already implemented in ardour3? i tried building it from svn, but got dependency errors i couldnt solve…
This is the output of “ardour2 --help”

so I assume you just specify the name of the session and it should load? Make sure you’re in the same directory as the session file.
right, i had seen the help, but my problem was the name of the session wasn’t the full path so it was assuming i wanted to create a new session. so now it works when i give the full path to the session! thanks christophski =)
