@data

Use this to read in options from the specified environment variable or configuration file. If both exist with the same name, the environment variable is used. See Configuration files.

-c

Set the configuration options, only updating those options that differ from the current options, then stop the Agent.

-cr

Set the configuration options, resetting all existing options to the defaults, then stop the Agent. Using this option resets all the information in the agent database and should only be used if the agent database is in an unrecoverable state.

-a agentid

Valid only with -c or -cr. Specify the ID of this Agent.

If the -a option is not specified, the default is Agent_computername_UUID, where computername is the host name of the computer that the Agent is running on and UUID is a universally unique identifier.

It is highly recommended that case not be used to differentiate between Agent IDs. For example, do not create Agent ID Agent_XYZ and agent_xyz as different Agent IDs. When the consolidated database is case-insensitive, this recommendation is a requirement. When the consolidated database is case-sensitive, this recommendation is not enforced.

-db database location

Valid only with -c or -cr. Specify the path where remote databases are stored on the client device.

-x protocol[protocol-options] ...

protocol : tcpip | tls | http | https

protocol-options: ( option=value; ... )

-ap parameters

Specify the MobiLink authentication parameters used when synchronizing the agent database.

-ek key

Specify the encryption key used to access the agent database.

-n name

Specify the name of the agent database. The default is taskdb.

-o file

Log output to the specified file.

-on size

Append .old to the log file name and start a new file with the original name when the log reaches the size specified. Size must be a minimum of 10K. This option cannot be used with -os.

-os size

Rename the log file to YYMMDDxx.mla and start a new file with the original name when the log reaches the size specified. Size must be a minimum of 10K. This option cannot be used with -on.

-ot file

Truncate the file and log output messages to it.

-p password

Specify the MobiLink password used to synchronize the agent database.

-pi

Test whether the Agent can synchronize. This option causes the Agent to do a ping synchronization of its Agent database with the MobiLink server, using the currently configured MobiLink client network protocol options and user authentication parameters. The mlagent process immediately returns 0 if the ping synchronization was successful, or the SQL error code of the synchronization request if the synchronization failed. For more information about ping synchronizations, see -pi dbmlsync option.

The MobiLink Agent database must be configured by running mlagent with -c or -cr before mlagent is invoked with -pi.

The MobiLink Agent cannot be invoked with both -pi and either -c or -cr on the command line.

-q

Run in a minimized window.

-qi

Do not display tray icon or window.

Specify the output verbosity level from 0-9. The default is 3.
