Since version 0.2, the one on my webpage, I have implemented a command
line switch:

[lugburz:control-client-0.2!118] ./cpia-control -h
Usage: ./cpia-control [-h] [proc-file]

That version should also scan for files in that directory and open the
first one. So I did not consider that as a source for the problem. Is
there a bug lurking here? Which versions are you using? The URL to my
latest client is:

Ooops, there is no reference on the web-page. Jarl, can you add a link to
that web-page?
