6 bcfg - reconfigure machine based on settings in BCFG2

9 bcfg2 [-d] [-v] [-p] [-c cache file] [-e] [-f config file] [-I] [-q]
10 [-b bundle] [-r removal mode]
11
13 bcfg2 Runs the bcfg2 configuration process on the current host. This
14 process consists of first fetching and executing probes, uploading
15 probe results, fetching the client configuration, checking the current
16 client state, attempting to install the desired configuration, and
17 finally uploading statistics about the bcfg2 execution and client
18 state.
19
21 -d
22 Run bcfg2 in debug mode.
23 -v
24 Run bcfg2 in verbose mode.
25 -c <cachefile>
26 Cache a copy of the configuration in cachefile -b <bundle>
27 Run bcfg2 against only one bundle in the configuration.
28 -P
29 Run bcfg2 in paranoid mode. Diffs will be logged for con‐
30 figuration files marked as paranoid by the Bcfg2 server.
31 -q
32 Run bcfg2 in quick mode. Package checksum verification
33 won't be performed. This mode relaxes the constraints of
34 correctness, and thus should only be used in safe condi‐
35 tions.
36 -D <driver1>,<driver2>
37 Specify a set of bcfg2 tool drivers. NOTE: only drivers
38 listed will be loaded. (IE, if you don't include POSIX,
39 you will be unable to verify/install ConfigFiles, etc)
40 -I
41 Run bcfg2 in interactive mode. The user will be prompted
42 before each change.
43 -n
44 Run bcfg2 in dry-run mode. No changes will be made to the
45 system.
46 -B
47 Run bcfg2 in build mode. Services aren't started, as the
48 system may still be in miniroot.
49 -r <mode>
50 Cause bcfg2 to remove extra configuration elements it
51 detects. Mode is one of all, services, or packages. All
52 removes all entries. Likewise, services and packages
53 remove only the extra configuration elements of the
54 respective type.
55 -p <profile>
56 Assert a profile for the current client.
57 -e
58 When in verbose mode, display extra entry information
59 (temporary until verbosity rework)
60 -k
61 Run in bulletproof mode. This currently only effect
62 behavior in the debian toolset; it calls apt-get update
63 and clean and dpkg --configure --pending.
