Command File

The command file contains command line options specified in a file. The command file enables you to save common command line options in permanent storage and reference them as needed.

The command file is the second to highest in the precedence order, after command line options (see Configuration Methods).

Individual command line options can be specified on one or multiple lines. Blank lines are ignored. Lines starting with the hash ( # ) character are ignored and can be used for comments.

The command file can be encrypted if it is necessary to secure the contents (see Universal Encrypt).

Note

If the contents of the file contain sensitive material, the operating system's native file and user security facilities should be used in addition to the file encryption provided by Universal Agent.

In order to use a command file, either of the following is used:

  • COMMAND_FILE_PLAIN option is used to specify the command file name.
  • COMMAND_FILE_ENCRYPTED option is used to specify the encrypted command file name.
