5.23.3 Starting the daemon in headless mode

As an alternative to using a headless configuration file, you can start the daemon in headless mode by passing arguments to it.

Note:

A limitation of using the daemon arguments instead of a headless configuration file is that only one process, specified using --name, can be configured at a time. The configuration file can contain multiple configurations for different processes.

The daemon accepts a series of arguments. For details, see 5.23.4 Arguments accepted by the daemon. If the --HeadlessMode argument is present, the daemon starts in headless mode. Otherwise, it starts as normal, ignoring the rest of the headless configuration arguments. The daemon does not reset the headless mode configuration until you kill the daemon or you connect to the host.

The process for starting the daemon in headless mode depends on the target device. However, the argument names are the same for both methods.

For a Linux device, start the daemon executable, passing extra arguments as required. For example:

./aga-daemon --HeadlessMode --name cube

To stop the daemon, kill it like any other Linux process. Killing the daemon clears any headless configurations that were passed in as an argument.
