MODE can be one of: last - Uses the last-used mode, active if none. active - Parity continuously syncs the chain. passive - Parity syncs initially, then sleeps and wakes regularly to resync. dark - Parity syncs only when the RPC is active. offline - Parity doesn't sync. (default: {flag_mode}). --mode-timeout SECS Specify the number of seconds before inactivity timeout occurs when mode is dark or passive (default: {flag_mode_timeout}). --mode-alarm SECS Specify the number of seconds before auto sleep reawake timeout occurs when mode is passive (default: {flag_mode_alarm}). --auto-update SET Set a releases set to automatically update and install. all - All updates in the our release track. critical - Only consensus/security updates. none - No updates will be auto-installed. (default: {flag_auto_update}). --release-track TRACK Set which release track we should use for updates. stable - Stable releases. beta - Beta releases. nightly - Nightly releases (unstable). testing - Testing releases (do not use). current - Whatever track this executable was released on (default: {flag_release_track}). --public-node Start Parity as a public web server. Account storage and transaction signing will be delegated to the UI. (default: {flag_public_node}). --no-download Normally new releases will be downloaded ready for updating. This disables it. Not recommended. (default: {flag_no_download}). --no-consensus Force the binary to run even if there are known issues regarding consensus. Not recommended.
