Managing application tasks using the command line

You can manage the application operation using tasks locally on the computer (using the command line or configuration files), as well as using Administration Console or Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

There are two types of tasks for working with the application:

• A predefined task that is created during installation of the application. Predefined tasks cannot be created or deleted, but you can modify the settings of these tasks.
• A user task that you can create or delete on your own. You can create the following types of user tasks: ODS, Update, Rollback, ODFIM, ContainerScan, and InventoryScan.

Task ID is an identifier that the application assigns to the task at creation. IDs for user tasks are starting from 100. All tasks (including deleted tasks) have unique IDs. The application does not reuse the identifiers of the deleted tasks. The identifier of a new task is the next successive number to the identifier of the latest created task.

Task names are not case-sensitive.

Predefined Kaspersky Endpoint Security tasks are described in the table below.
