In order to enable sampling, the samples submission system cache must be initialized. This can be achieved by selecting
‘samples_enabled’ in the [global] section of the ESETS configuration file.
For more information on the Samples Submission System and its options, please refer to the esets_daemon(8) mane page.
7.5 Scheduler
The Scheduler's functionality includes running scheduled tasks at a specified time or on a specific event, managing and
launching tasks with predefined configuration and properties and more. Task configuration and properties can be used to
influence launch dates and times, but also to expand the application of tasks by introducing the use of custom profiles during
task execution.
The ‘scheduler_tasks’ option is commented by default, causing the default scheduler configuration to be applied. In the ESETS
configuration file all parameters and tasks are semicolon-separated. Any other semicolons (and backslashes) must be
backslash escaped. Each task has 6 parameters and the syntax is as follows:
id – Unique number.
name – Task description.
flags – Special flags to disable the specified scheduler task can be set here.
failstart – Instructs what to do if task could not be run on scheduled date.
datespec – A regular date specification with 6 (crontab like year-extended) fields, recurrent date or an event name option.
command – Can be an absolute path to a command followed by its arguments or a special command name with the ‘@’ prefix
(e.g. anti-virus update: @update).
#scheduler_tasks = "id;name;flags;failstart;datespec;command;id2;name2;...";
The following event names can be used in place of the datespec option:
start – Daemon startup.
startonce – Daemon startup but at most once a day.
engine – Successful engine update.
login – Web interface logon startup.
threat – Threat detected.
notscanned – Not scanned email or file.
licexp – 30 days before license expiration.
To display the current scheduler configuration, use the Web interface or run the following command:
cat @ETCDIR@/esets.cfg | grep scheduler_tasks
For a full description of Scheduler and its parameters refer to the Scheduler section of the esets_daemon(8) man page.
7.6 Web Interface
The web interface allows user-friendly configuration, administration and license management of ESET Security systems. This
module is a separate agent and must be explicitly enabled. To quickly configure the Web Interface, set the following options in
the ESETS configuration file and restart the ESETS daemon:
[wwwi]
agent_enabled = yes
listen_addr = address
listen_port = port
username = name
password = pass
Replace the text in italics with your own values and direct your browser to ‘https://address:port’ (note the https). Login with
‘username/password’. Basic usage instructions can be found on the help page and technical details about esets_wwwi can be
found on the esets_wwwi(1) man page.
The web interface allows you to remotely access the ESETS daemon and deploy it easily. This powerful utility makes it easy to
read and write configuration values.
