abrt-cli is the command-line interface for the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) used on Fedora and RHEL systems. It manages detected application crashes, kernel oopses, and other software defects, allowing users to list, inspect, report, and remove problem data.
Crash information includes identifiers, timestamps, package names, crash reasons, and report status/URLs when applicable.
list [-n] [--detailed] [--since NUM] [--until NUM]
Display detected crashes. -n shows only unreported problems. --detailed shows full report. --since/--until filter by timestamp.
info [-d] [-s SIZE] PROBLEM_DIR
Show details of a specific problem. -d for detailed output. -s abridges text larger than SIZE bytes.
report [--delete] [--unsafe] PROBLEM_DIR
Submit a problem for analysis and reporting. --delete removes the problem dir after reporting. --unsafe ignores security checks.
remove PROBLEM_DIR
Delete a problem from the system.
status [-b] [--since NUM]
Show count of detected problems. -b prints only the count (bare mode).
process [--since NUM] [--unsafe] PROBLEM_DIR
Analyze and report problems in batch.
auto-report [on|off]
Enable or disable automatic reporting of detected problems.
-v, --verbose
Increase verbosity.
-V, --version
Show version information.
The reporting workflow opens a text editor. Editor selection uses environment variables in order: $ABRT_EDITOR, $VISUAL, $EDITOR, or defaults to vi. The ABRT daemon must be running for new problems to be detected.
Part of ABRT (Automatic Bug Reporting Tool), developed by Red Hat for Fedora-based systems starting around 2009 as a replacement for bug-buddy.
