96 The fusioninventory-agent agent is a generic multi-platform agent. It
97 can perform a large array of management tasks, such as local inventory,
98 software deployment or network discovery. It can be used either
99 standalone, or in combination with a compatible server (OCS, GLPI,
100 OTRS) acting as a centralized control point.
101
103 Most of the options are available in a short form and a long form. For
104 example, the two lines below are all equivalent:
105 % fusioninventory-agent -s localhost
107 % fusioninventory-agent --server localhost
108 Target definition options
110 -s, --server=URI
111 Send the results of tasks execution to given server.
112 If URI doesn't start with http:// or https://, the agent assume the
114 parameter is a hostname and rewrite it as:
115 % --server=http://example/plugins/fusioninventory
117 In general, OCS Inventory server URL have this format:
119 http://example/ocsinventory
121 and FusionInventory for GLPI this one:
123 http://example/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/front/plugin_fusioninventory.communication.php
125 Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.
127 -l, --local=PATH
129 Write the results of tasks execution locally.
130 Exact behaviour according to given path:
132 • if PATH is a directory, a file will be created therein
134 • if PATH is a file, it will be used directly
136 • if PATH is '-', STDOUT will be used
138 Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.
140 Target scheduling options
142 --delaytime=LIMIT
143 Set an initial delay before the first target, whose value is
144 computed randomly between LIMIT / 2 and LIMIT seconds. This setting
145 is ignored for server targets after the initial contact, in favor
146 of server-specified parameter (PROLOG_FREQ).
147 --lazy
149 Do not contact the target before next scheduled time.
150 This option is only available when the agent is not run as a
152 server.
153 Task selection options
155 --list-tasks
156 List all available tasks, tasks planned for execution and exit
157 --no-task=TASK
159 Do not run given task.
160 Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator. See
162 option --list-tasks for the list of available tasks.
163 --tasks=TASK
165 Run given tasks in given order.
166 Multiple tasks can be specified, using comma as a separator. A
168 task can be specified several times. if '...' is given as last
169 element, all other available tasks are executed.
170 See option --list-tasks for the list of available tasks.
172 Examples :
174 * --tasks=inventory,deploy,inventory
176 First task executed is 'inventory', second task is 'deploy',
177 third and last
178 task is 'inventory'.
179 * --tasks=inventory,deploy,...
181 First executed task is 'inventory', second task is 'deploy' and
182 then all
183 other available tasks are executed.
184 Inventory task specific options

265 --no-p2p
266 Do not use peer to peer to download files.
267 Server target specific options

304 (false).
305 For example: "192.168.0.0/24", "192.168.168.0.5" or an IP range
307 like "20.34.101.207 - 201.3.9.99". Hostnames are also accepted. See
308 Net::IP documentation to get more example.
309 Multiple values can be specified, using comma as a separator.
311 --listen
313 This option should be used if no local or server target is defined

316 remote clients.
317 Logging options

365 backend).
366 --conf-reload-interval=SECONDS
368 SECONDS is the number of seconds between two configuration
369 reloadings. Default value is 0, which means that configuration is
370 never reloaded. Minimum value is 60. If given value is less than
371 this minimum, it is set to this minimum. If given value is less
372 than 0, it is set to 0.
373 Execution mode options
375 -w LIMIT, --wait=LIMIT
376 Wait a random delay whose value is computed randomly between 0 and
