Creating a task in the command line

If the application is being used in standard mode, you can create the following types of tasks: ODS, Update, Rollback, ODFIM, ContainerScan, and InventoryScan.

If the application is used in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, you can create the following types of tasks: ODS, ODFIM, ContainerScan, and InventoryScan.

You can create tasks with default settings or with settings specified in a configuration file.

To create a task with default settings, execute the following command:

kesl-control -create-task <task name> --type <task type>

where:

• <task name> is the name that you specify for the new task.
• <task type> is the identifier for the type of the created task.

To create a task with the settings specified in the configuration file, execute the following command:

kesl-control --create-task <task name> --type <task type> --file <path to the configuration file> [--json]

where:

• <task name> is the name that you specify for the new task.
• <task type> is the identifier for the type of the created task.
• <path to file> is the full path to the configuration file with the settings that will be used for creating the task.
• --json is specified to import the settings from the configuration file in JSON format. If the --json key is not specified, the application attempts to import from an INI file. If the import fails, an error is displayed.
