Using Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus Command-line Options
174 Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus
/PAUSE On-demand
scanning only Enables screen pause.
The
Press any key to continue
prompt will
appear when the scanner fills a screen with
messages. Otherwise, by default, the scanner fills
and scrolls a screen continuously without stopping,
which allows it to run on PCs with multiple drives or
that have severe infections, without needing your
input.
Dr Solomon’s recommends omitting /PAUSE when
using the report options (/REPORT, /RPTCOR,
and /RPTERR)
/PLAD On-demand
scanning only Preserves the last access dates on Novell
NetWare drives.
Normally, proprietary network drives update the
last access date when the scanner opens and
examines a file. However, some tape backup
systems use this last access date to decide
whether to back up the file. Use /PLAD to ensure
that the last access date does not change as the
result of scanning
/RECONNECT On-access
scanning only Restores the WinGuard scanner after it has been
disabled by certain drivers or memory-resident
programs.
/REMOVE On-access
scanning only Unloads the WinGuard scanner from memory.
/REPORT <filename> On-demand
scanning only Creates a report of infected files and system
errors, and saves the data to <filename> in ASCII
text file format.
If <filename> already exists, /REPORT will
overwrite it. To avoid overwriting, use the
/APPEND option with /REPORT: The scanner will
instead add report information to the end of the file,
instead of overwriting it.
You can also use /RPTALL, /RPTCOR, and
/RPTERR to add scanned files, corrupted files,
modified files, and system errors to the report.
You can include the destination drive and directory
(such as D:\VSREPRT\ALL.TXT), but if the
destination is a network drive, you must have
rights to create and delete files on that drive.
Dr Solomon’s recommends omitting /PAUSE when
using any report option.
