Re: Automate PuTTY via batch and execute the ERRLOG command

[Dan <dan27649@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Richard,

errlog is a PuTTY command and it has no parameters to identify a file, or
location of a file, that the errlog command should process.  I presume that
every server keeps a log "hidden" (not in an accessible file?) that only
the errlog command can access, but that is just a wild guess on my part.
