1.8 +== Program Invocation ==
1.9 +
1.10 +Since imip-agent is concerned with the integration of calendaring with e-mail,
1.11 +these programs are typically invoked by the [[../MailIntegration|mail system]],
1.12 +although they may be invoked directly for [[../Testing|testing]] and other
1.13 +purposes. Various options may be presented to the programs in order to modify
1.14 +their behaviour, and these are summarised when the `--help` option is given.
1.15 +For example:
1.16 +
1.17 +{{{
1.18 +imip_person.py --help
1.19 +}}}
1.20 +
1.21 +The [[../MailIntegration|mail configuration guide]] references configuration
1.22 +files that include example invocations of these programs. Generally, few
1.23 +options need to be specified, and as a result the programs will acquire their
1.24 +configuration from the installed [[../Configuration|configuration files]].
1.25 +
1.26 +One exception is the `imip_person.py` program that needs to be told whether
1.27 +it will deliver messages using [[../MailIntegration/LMTP|LMTP]] with the `-l`
1.28 +option or using [[../MailIntegration/LocalSMTP|SMTP]] with the `-L` option.
