Editing task settings using command line

To edit a task settings using command line:

1. Specify the required setting value:

   kesl-control --set-settings <task name or ID> <setting=value> [<setting=value>]

   Kaspersky Endpoint Security changes the specified setting.

2. Make sure the setting value is changed in a task configuration file:

   kesl-control --get-settings <task name or ID>

If you add a new scan scope or exclusion scope not specifying all settings, a scope with default settings is added to a configuration file.

Example: To specify a new scan scope, execute the following command: kesl-control --set-settings 100 ScanScope.item_0001.UseScanArea=Yes ScanScope.item_0001.Path=/home A new section describing a scan scope is added to the configuration file for the task with ID=100: [ScanScope.item_0001] AreaDesc= UseScanArea=Yes Path=/home AreaMask.item_0000=*
