Hello,
I'm trying to write a new FusionInventory Agent installer for
Microsoft Windows and, when I was writing its online help, some doubts
have arisen me regarding the FusionInventory Agent command line options.
Are the following:
a) The term 'target' is only regarding the contact with a server
(--server=url1,url2,...) or is it also used for local destination
(--local=absolute_path)? In other words, the options --server and
--local indicate both 'targets'?
b) Regarding with options --delaytime, --wait and --lazy
b.1) All of them have sense only whether FusionInventory Agent
runs in Server Mode, isn't it?
b.2) Does --wait come into play with local targets (option
--local) or only with remote targets (option --server)?
b.3) If b.1 is true then there is an error in the official
FusionInventory Agent documentation (http://search.cpan.org
/~fusinv/FusionInventory-Agent-2.2.2/fusioninventory-agent).
Regarding with option --lazy, its second paragraph said:
"This option is only available when the agent is *NOT* run
as a server."
and I think it should said:
"This option is only available when the agent runs as a
server."
Really I think this last sentence should be below each one
of these options (--delaytime, --wait and --lazy).
c) Regarding with option --backend-collect-timeout
c.1) What are exactly the 'inventory modules'? I know there are
tasks (Inventory, WakeOnLan, ESX, NetDiscovery, NetInventory
and Deploy) but I don't know what are 'inventory modules'.
c.2) Are 'inventory modules' the same than 'tasks'?
c.3) Is backend-collect-timeout the timeout for all 'inventory
modules' or only for some of them?
At the moment this is all (sure I have forgotten something).
Thanks in advance. Best regards.
