Do you mean agent commands on the local system? Are you on version 5.3 or above?

After version 5.3, on the local machine, you can run the following common commands in the KBOX install folder:

Runkbot 4 0 = Launches Inventory
Runkbot 6 0 = Launches Distribution
Runkbot 3 0 = updates the client if necessary

There are more that I am not sure about, but those are the common ones.

This is a list of agent commands given to me by support recently for 5.3:

c:\program files\dell\kace\Kinventory.exe\kinventory -machine
KInventory.exe -machine -out "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Dell\KACE\inventory.xml"
Verify the inventory being submitted. There should be an inventory.yaml file in the same directory
c:\program files\dell\kace\Kinventory.exe -autorepair
-Repairs kinventory

Amptools debug=true
Enables debugging

runkbot 1 0 does bootstrap,
runkbot 4 0 does check in/inventory,
runkbot 6 0 does managed installs and file syncs

Others:

runkbot 2 0 is called K1000 client run and runs Kupdater
runkbot 3 0 does scripting updates
runkbot 5 0 does agent upgrades

For win 7-
c:\programdata\dell\kace\Kinventory.db
For xp:
c:\documents and settings\all users\dell\kace

c:\program files\dell\kace\amptools -resetconf host=hostname
Resets the hostname in the amp.conf

To Access the log files with 5.3 Agent installed
For Windows 7
C:\ProgramData\Dell\Kace
For Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Dell\Kace

You can run any script if you know the number this way.
runkbot.exe [Script No.] [0 for running it/1 for updating it] if I undersand it right.

http://kbox/adminui/kbot.php?ID=4 <-- Inventory script
http://kbox/adminui/kbot.php?ID=6 <-- Deployment script
so if you have #100 script do something you can do the following command "Runkbot 100 0" to run the script on the local PC

    hmmm interesting, it doesn't like the "Larger than" sign then it cust the rest of the post, I'll make a bug report
    ----
    http://kbox/adminui/kbot.php?ID=4 = inventory script
    http://kbox/adminui/kbot.php?ID=6 = Deployment script
    if you have script #100 do something you can run "runkbox 100 0" to run the script on the local machine - rmeyer 12 years ago
