command line option to run the interactive-only agent with a custom name instead of the default network/computer name

how to run the interactive-only agent with a custom name instead of the default network/computer name?

[si458]

the only way of doing this would be:

1. download the meshagent as interactive mode and put the file somewhere in a folder
2. go to your meshcentral ui but add &debug=1 in the URL
3. go to add agent, select the interactive only then save the settings file in the same folder as the exe you downloaded before
4. edit the .msh file and add the line agentName=MYRANDOMNAME
5. then run the exe and it should read the .msh file from its current folder

what a bout adding a cli option --agentName that override the .msh agentName attribute?

You would need to open a request in the agent repo for something like this as its not that simple as far as im aware https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshAgent
