Unable to redirect Logging with CLI commands

[JBOB]

Maybe somebody can help with a problem I am having with Malwarebytes logging. When I try to set up a script using Malwarebytes cli command “in .bat file” fails to redirect the logging to custom file directly and goes to the default location.  The update/scanning functions work without any problems but it fails to place the logs in custom directory… Does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong…?

Script Parameters

C:\MalwareBytes\mbam.exe /logtofolder "E:\MalwareBytes\mbam_logs\mbam_log.txt"

C:\MalwareBytes\mbam.exe /update -silent

Unless the documentation is incorrect, /logtofolder is not a valid switch in Remediation Tool.  It is in the Corporate version, but not in Remediation Tool.

My Mistake, I ment to say /Logtofile  not /logtofolder

Unfortunately, the same answer applies.  Have you checked the Admin Guide for the product?  You can download it from this page:

 

https://www.malwarebytes.org/support/guides/

 

The complete (yet limited) command line reference is included in the guide.  Its also available in the product (click the HELP button).

Yes, I used the command as it status in the cli section of the manual ...  mbam.exe /logtofile  c:\mbam_logs\mbam_log.txt  . It would be at the bottom of page 14.... I used the excate verabe and still have trouble... any ideas...

AAH!  Now I understand the problem.  The guide which is on the website is newer than the one you have.  One reason for the new guide is that certain statements in the version you have were determined to be incorrect, and weren't caught before that one was put on the website.  The Product Manager went through the guide in detail, passed corrections on to the tech writer (me), and I updated the guide and got it pushed up to the web site.

 

The parts that have you confused me are the parts I removed because they were in error.  So, it appears that I am the cause of your confusion.  I apologize for that.  Please pull down the new guide and get rid of the old one.  The new one is dated 18 August 2014.

 

Again, sorry!

no  problem  .......  I did look at the new one " http://static-cdn.malwarebytes.org/assets/userguides/2014-11-19/MBRTGuide.pdf" and noticed the /logtofile and /logtofolder was omented from the current mbam.exe tool....??  Would this be the correct one...??  not sure if this fuction was removed or not.... ..

[JBOB]

sorry .. ment to say omitted not omented...

The August 18 guide is the most current one, and reflects the released version of the program.  The functions you wanted to use were not there in the first place...that was my mistake in listing them originally.
