x2gobroker-testagent provides help on command line options:

x2gobroker-testagent  is  a  test  utility  for local/remote X2Go Session Broker Agents.  The x2gobroker-testagent has to run as super-user root.

       The x2gobroker-testagent tool is normally run on the machine that acts as the X2Go Session Broker.

       The x2gobroker-testagent tries to connect to a local or remote X2Go Session Broker  Agent.   X2Go  Broker
       Agents are co-installed on X2Go Server hosts and support the broker in controlling that X2Go Server.

       The  x2gobroker-testagent  executes a test task on the broker agent.  The broker agent tries to switch to
       the given user's context and runs the given task on behalf of that user.

       /etc/x2go/x2gobroker.conf, /etc/x2go/broker/* (configuration files)

       /etc/x2go/broker/defaults.conf (environment for X2Go Session Broker)

       /var/log/x2gobroker/* (log files of X2Go Session Broker)

x2gobroker-testagent also accepts the following miscellaneous options:

       -d,--debug
              Enable debugging code.

       -C,--configFILENAME
              Specify an alternative configuration file name, default is: /etc/x2go/x2gobroker.conf.

       The default mode for calling the X2Go Session Broker  Agent  is  "LOCAL".  Alternatively,  remote  broker
       agents can be called via mode "SSH". For this, you additionally need to specify the below options:

       -HHOSTNAME,--hostHOSTNAME
              Hostname to connect to via SSH for running remote broker agent test commands.

       -pPORT,--portPORT
              The TCP/IP port that the remote system's SSH daemon listens on (default: 22).

       You can either list the broker agent's tasks that are available for testing:

       --list-tasks
              Render a list of available broker agent tasks. This list shows what can be tested.  The  capabili‐
              ties of the remote agent and the broker server's test code are compared and displayed.

       Or run a given task on behalf of an X2Go user on a local or remote broker agent:

       -u,--user,--username
              Instruct  the broker agent to switch to this user's context when running the given task on the lo‐
              cal/remote host.

       -tTASK,--taskTASK
              The task that shall be test-executed on the remote broker agent.

/usr/share/doc/x2gobroker

       For some tasks, you have to provide additional parameters.

       -A,--add-to-known-hosts
              When  connecting  to a remote broker agent via SSH, add the broker agent machine's SSH host key to
              the list of known hosts (normally /var/lib/x2gobroker/.ssh/known_hosts).

              This has to be done once per broker agent machine, that the X2Go Session  Broker  is  supposed  to
              connect to.

       --session-idSESSION_ID
              When  testing the 'suspendsession' or the 'terminatesession' task, you have to additionally give a
              session ID to test those tasks on.

       --pubkeyPUBKEY_AS_STRING
              Use your own provided SSH public key when testing the 'addauthkey' and the 'delauthkey' tasks.
