I already have the zoom client installed.  I'm looking for whatever I 
would need to enter at the command line to have the zoom client open and 
connect to the meeting in question.  If I had that information, I could 
create a link to an application on the desktop so I could click it then 
zoom would launch and connect to the meeting.

thanks
