{anchor:cli_htm}
* Display configuration. See [Displaying Agent Configuration|Linux Agent CLI - Displaying Agent Version#version_htm].
* Install and delete Server Keys. See [Managing CDP Server Keys|Linux Agent CLI - Managing CDP Server Keys#keys_htm].
* Download Custom Kernel module. See [Download Custom Kernels|Linux Agent CLI - Working With Custom Kernels].
* Start and stop Agent service. See [Starting The Agent|Linux Agent CLI - Starting The Agent] and [Stopping The Agent|Linux Agent CLI - Stopping The Agent].
* Enable or disable control panel support. See [Integration with Custom Control Panel].
* Generate various reports.

The CLI tools are designed to be used in shell scripts for users that prefer Command Line Interface over Web Interface.

To use the CLI tools, establish a SSH connection to the Linux Host, open GUI terminal window (Konsole in KDE, Gnome Terminal in Gnome, etc.), or log in to the text Linux console. You should either log in as root or obtain root permissions after login via {color:blue}su{color} or {color:blue}sudo{color} command.
{info:title=Note} It is recommended to use PuTTY as a SSH client. It allows you to paste the text from the Windows clipboard by pressing the right mouse button. You can download PuTTY from here:
