Using the application through the server console

You can manage some Kaspersky Anti-Virus functions via the command line in the Lotus Domino server console. This section lists the system commands that can be used to manage the primary functions of Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

System commands are only entered for the kavcontrol task on each protected server individually.

The command must have the following syntax:

tell kavcontrol <command> [<setting>]

where:

If the path to a file or catalog is required as the value of the setting, the rules for specifying paths under the operating system installed on the server must be followed. If the file path uses the 'space' key, the whole path must be contained in double inverted commas, since in such case brackets are indistinguishable from spaces. There must be one space between the setting and the command.

Example:

Correct:

tell kavcontrol addkey "/home/username/my key"

Wrong:

tell kavcontrol addkey " /home/username/my key"
