I have a custom rule in Jamroot:

 rule your-install ( DAEMON_NAME )
 {
  ...
 }
.

In Jamfile of subproject I invoke this rule :

exe harvester_master
    : HarvesterMaster.cpp harvester_master.cpp HarvesterMasterSettings.cpp
          ../common
      ../..//boost_program_options ../..//boost_regex ../..//boost_system ../..//boost_filesystem 
      ../..//boost_thread
      ../..//mysqlclient_r ../..//xmlrpc ../..//xmlrpc++ ../..//xmlrpc_server_abyss
      ../..//xmlrpc_server ../..//xmlrpc_server++ ../..//xmlrpc_server_abyss++ ../..//xmlrpc_xmlparse
      ../..//xmlrpc_xmltok ../..//iconv
    : <include>../../include/harvester_master
    ;

modules.poke $(JAMROOT) : DAEMON_NAME : harvester_master ;

your-install harvester_master ;

.

It works fine. But this rule is invoked every time I type bjam.
I need it be invoked only on bjam install.
How can I use explicit rule for explicit call of rule your-install?
How can I use alias rule to rename your-install to install?
