The following commands for managing updates are available, as well as commands for operation in the centralized protection mode:

Command

Description

update

Purpose: Start the updating process of anti-virus components (virus databases, the scan engine and so on, depending on the distribution) from Doctor Web update servers, terminate the updating process if it is already running, or perform rollback of the latest update to the previous versions of updated files.

The command has no effect if Dr.Web Server Security Suite is connected to the centralized protection server.

Arguments: None.

Options

--Stop—terminate the running update process.

--Rollback—roll back the last update and restore the previous version of the files that have been updated during the last update.

--From <path>—apply updates offline from a specified directory.

--Path <path>—store files for updating offline in a specified directory. If this directory already has files, then they will be updated.

esconnect
<server>[:<port>]

Purpose: Connect Dr.Web Server Security Suite to the specified centralized protection server. For details on the operation modes, refer to the Operation Modes section.

Arguments

<server>—IP address or network name of the host on which the centralized protection server is operating. This argument is mandatory.

<port>—port number used by the centralized protection server. The argument is optional and should be specified only if the centralized protection server uses a non-standard port.

Options

--Certificate <path>—file path to a certificate of the centralized protection server, the connection to which will be established.

--Login <ID>—login (workstation identifier) used for connection to the centralized protection server.

--Password <password>—password for connection to the centralized protection server.

--Compress <On|Off>—enable (On) or disable (Off) forced compression of transmitted data. If not specified, usage of compression is determined by the server.

--Newbie—connect as a “newbie” (get a new account on the server).

--Group <ID>—identifier of the group to which the workstation is added on connection. Must be specified together with the --Password option.

--Rate <ID>—identifier of the tariff group applied to your workstation when it is included in one of the centralized protection server groups. Must be specified together with the --Group option.

--CfgFile <path>—connect to the centralized protection server using the configuration file with connection settings.

This command requires drweb-ctl to be started with superuser (the root user) privileges. If necessary, use the su or sudo commands.

The command has no effect if Dr.Web Server Security Suite already operates in standalone mode.
