Buckets agent

Table of Contents

• Supported actions
• Agent source

The bucket agent uses user rules (see bucket table) to classify files into user categories (buckets).

Containers are in all the buckets of their contents.

Packages, like all other container, are in the buckets of their children. In addition, packages can have their own rules that will place them in additional buckets.

Supported actions

Command line flag	Description
-i	Initialize the database, then exit
-n	Bucketpool name of bucketpool to use
-p	Bucketpool_pk of bucketpool to use
-r	Rerun buckets
-t	Uploadtree_pk, root of tree to scan
-u	Upload_pk to scan
-v	Verbose (turns on copious debugging output)
-V	Print the version info, then exit
-c SYSCONFDIR	Specify the directory for the system configuration

Note

-n and -p are mutually exclusive. If both are specified -p is used. One of these is required.

-t and -u are mutually exclusive. If both are specified -u is used. One of these is required.

If none of -nptu are specified, the bucketpool_pk and upload_pk are read from stdin, one comma delimited pair per line. For example, 'bppk=123, upk=987' where 123 is the bucketpool_pk and 987 is the upload_pk. This is the normal execution from the scheduler.
