outputfile	outputfile=args.parameters.outputfile
action	action=args.parameters.action
	if action=='': action='show-config'
output	outputjson=args.parameters.json
	if outputjson=='': outputjson=outputfile=os.path.join(args.path,args.prog_shortname)+'.json'
	else: outputjson=args.parameters.json
	if folder!='':
	outputjson=os.path.join(folder,outputjson)
