drivers. <em>NOTE: only drivers listed will be
loaded. (e.g., if you do not include POSIX, you will
be unable to verify/install Path entries).</em></td></tr>

configuration files marked as paranoid by the Bcfg2
server.</td></tr>

<kbd><span class="option">-Q</span></kbd></td>
<td>Run bcfg2 in “bundle quick” mode, where only entries
in a bundle are verified or installed. This runs
much faster than -q, but doesn’t provide statistics
to the server at all. In order for this option to
work, the -b option must also be provided. This
option is incompatible with -r.</td></tr>

attempt to retry network communication.</td></tr>

using the value in bcfg2.conf). This should be in
the format “<a class="reference external" href="https://server:port">https://server:port</a>“</td></tr>

<td>Run only the specified colon-delimited set of
bundles.</td></tr>

affects behavior in the debian toolset; it calls
apt-get update and clean and dpkg –configure
–pending.</td></tr>

</tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>Run the client in the specified decision list mode
(“whitelist” or “blacklist”), or “none”, which can
be used in order to override the decision list mode
specified in bcfg2.conf). This approach is needed
when particular changes are deemed “high risk”. It
gives the ability tocentrally specify these changes,
but only install them on clients when administrator
supervision is available. Because collaborative
configuration is one of the remaining hard issues in
configuration management, these issues typically
crop up in environments with several administrators
and much configuration variety. (This setting will
be ignored if the -f option is also specified).</td></tr>

to the system.</td></tr>

<td>Assert a profile for the current client.</td></tr>
<tr><td class="option-group">
<kbd><span class="option">-q</span></kbd></td>
<td>Run bcfg2 in quick mode. Package checksum
verification won’t be performed. This mode relaxes
the constraints of correctness, and thus should only
be used in safe conditions.</td></tr>
<tr><td class="option-group">
<kbd><span class="option">-r <var>mode</var></span></kbd></td>
<td>Cause bcfg2 to remove extra configuration elements
it detects. Mode is one of “all”, “Services”, or
“Packages”. “all” removes all entries. Likewise,
“Services” and “Packages” remove only the extra
configuration elements of the respective type.</td></tr>
<tr><td class="option-group">
<kbd><span class="option">-s <var>servicemode</var></span></kbd></td>
<td>Set bcfg2 interaction level for services. Default
behavior is to modify all services affected by
reconfiguration. “build” mode attempts to stop all

to modify services.</td></tr>
