Use "asimov [command] --help" for more information about a command.

To add a robot to the configuration list us the asimov add [name] [ip-address] [flags] command. It is assumed that the port 21 is default. This can not be changed for the moment. The ip-addess is going to be checkt, if the given ip-address is valid because the user might have a writing mistake. The order of attribuis is important and can not be changed.
Each name of a robot is unique. So if you have a name given twice the ip-address of the first is set with the ip-address of the second robot. The check for the ip-address is comming 😉

to remove a robot from the list of robots in the configuration file use asimov del [name] [flags]. If the robot name is in the list of robots, this command deletets the robot from the list.

To give you, the user a chose of your will, asimov provides different aliases for backup

• asimov backup [command]
• asimov bkg [command]

does all the same. The different commands for the backup are working totally different 😉
