I’m not sure what you’re asking here.  The documentation for "Proxying access-controlled streams” here - http://live555.com/proxyServer/ - explicitly notes a command-line option.

And “reuseFirstSource” is a parameter to media (specifically, an “OnDemandServerMediaSubsession” subclass) that is to be streamed by a RTSP server, telling it whether the media is pre-recorded media (e.g., a media file) that should be streamed from the beginning for each new client, or whether the media is a live source (e.g., from a camera) that you want to share (at its current point in time) with each new client.  Because this parameter is specific to the media that the RTSP server is streaming, it is not something that makes sense to have as a command-line option.
