--verbose logs plugin execution to syslog to aid in debugging
--randomize[=seed] evaluate the execution order randomizing the
order of independent jobs. Only useful for testing.
You can specify an optional seed for reproducibility
--parallel evaluate the execution order accounting for
parallelism between jobs which are independent
--plugin-flags=[,]
specify flags for conditional execution of plugins.
If there are multiple occurences of this option, the

to start/stop, before moving on to the next one.
