Host IDS/9000 v2.2 CLI?

[Gratien D'haese_2]

Investigating HIDS v2.2 for massive deployment at a customer site and I wonder why there is no command line interface available?
It would be so much easier to add lots of files via CLI instead of using the Java GUI.

thx,
Gratien

Gratien -

A command line tool called idsadmin (see the man page idsadmin(1) in /opt/ids/share/man/man1) is available as a debugging tool. Prior to V3.0, idsadmin is purely an interactive tool and you need to use something like expect to wrap around idsadmin if you don't want an interactive session (i.e., you want to automate the pushing of schedules to agents via a script)

Starting with V3.0 (yet to be released but before the end of this year), we are fully supporting idsadmin and have introduced a new command line option to push surveillance schedules to agents w/o having to start an interactive idsadmin session.
