I need to automate installation and creation of a server image and the imaging of a secondary server. As I need this to be an automated process I cannot make use of the provided command line gui. If someone could point me to a list of command line arguments for Clonzilla SE that would allow me to set all parameters ahead of time, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, those seem to be what I was looking for.
Another issue seems to have popped up as I realized that Clonezilla SE uses a 3 computer setup to create and then distribute images, this wasn't clear to me before. I need to make an image of the server Clonezilla SE is installed on and then copy that image to a secondary computer. Is there an option or command I can run to have the server make an image of itself? Ordinarily I would use Live edition to do something like this; but, as I stated in my first post, this needs to be an automated procedure. Again any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.

"Is there an option or command I can run to have the server make an image of itself? " -> If the partition you want to take an image is mounted, no.
If not mounted, yes, you can follow http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/
to install drbl then run "/opt/drbl/sbin/drblsrv -i" to install the required packages (You do not have to run /opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -i). Then use the command "/opt/drbl/sbin/clonezilla" to take the image.
