Usage¶

When called with no options, higrep applies each of the embedded rules and reports prints the matching rules to the console.

The following options modifiy the behavior of higrep:

--help¶

Display a help message

--install¶

Install the program as a service and start it running

--uninstall¶

Uninstall an installed service.

--print-script¶

Print the embedded script to the console

--interactive¶

Enter an interactive javascript interpreter in the context where higrep rules execute.

--bind=<path/to/new/program.exe>¶

Create a new copy of the program with a different script embedded. Specify the script with --script.

--script=<path/to/script.js>¶

Disregard the embedded script and check against the script specified.

--host=<host>, --host=@<path/to/host/list.txt>¶

Rather than working on the local system, apply the desired option to a host or list of hosts. The hosts may be specified on the command line in a comma separated list, or in a file whose name is prefixed with an @-symbol. Operation on a remote host works to for one time checks, for --install and for --uninstall.

For example:

> type hosts.txt
host1
host2
192.168.1.5
> higrep --host=@hosts.txt --install

To check on one host:

> higrep –host=192.168.1.6

--username=<username>¶

Specify the username to connect to the hosts specified in --host. If omitted, uses the default username and password.

--password¶

Specify the password to connect to the hosts specified in --host. If omitted, uses the default username and password.

--verbose¶

When applying rules, prints the full report rather than just names of the matched rules.
