Command Line Parameters

Normally, the DroneDeploy Agent will be launched automatically as a service/daemon. However, when running it manually, the Agent may be invoked with a number of optional command line parameters in order to vary the behaviour. Supported parameters are as follows:

Short	Long	Arguments	Description
-i	--init		Force initialisation or reinitialisation of the Agent.
-d	--daemon		Run the Agent in daemon (non-interactive) mode.
-f	--force		Force registration of a robot, overriding the registration of another Agent instance with the same callsign. Can only be used in conjunction with the --init flag
-m	--multi		Allow multiple instances of the Agent to run on a single host (or in a Docker container).
-p	--pat	<token>	Use <token> as your Personal Authentication Token (PAT) for automated provisioning/registration. Can only be used in conjunction with the --init flag.
-o	--logout		Log the agent out and force re-authentication.
-l	--local		Disable remote configuration management.
-c	--callsign	<callsign>	Use <callsign> as the callsign for your robot during automated provisioning/registration. Can only be used in conjunction with the --init flag.
-n	--name	<name>	Use <name> as the name for your robot during automated provisioning/registration. Can only be used in conjunction with the --init flag.
-v	--verbosity	<level>	Set the logging verbosity to <level>, where <level> is an integer from 1 (least talkative) to 6 (most talkative).
