The --listtask option of the isecav command shows the index number of each defined task, as shown in the following example.
# /opt/isec/ens/threatprevention/bin/isecav --listtask
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Index Task Name Task Type Task Status Last Run |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|1 quick scan ODS Not Started 17/08/17 23:52:12 UTC |
|2 full scan ODS Not Started 02/08/17 18:27:50 UTC |
|3 Default Client Update task DAT and Engine Update Completed 24/08/17 15:15:01 UTC |
|4 dayofweek DAT Update Completed 24/08/17 09:43:48 UTC |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The index number is assigned when creating the task. The index number is used with other command-line options such as scheduling the task (--scheduletask) or showing the details of the task (--showtask).
The index number is not static. Sometimes the index number changes because it is only used for listing purposes. Suppose that new tasks are created, index numbers are assigned, and later one of those index numbers is deleted. The index number for each task would be updated when listed using the -listtask command option.
This behavior is expected and does not affect the execution of tasks. Each task has its own static UUID that is maintained in
/opt/isec/ens/threatprevention/var/prefs.xml until the task is deleted. The unique identification of tasks is guaranteed.
