Operating Options:
--mode MODE Set the operating mode. 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.
(default: {flag_no_consensus}).
