./kavscanner [switch1] [switch2] [...] [switchN] [path] [filemasks]
where:
[switchN] is the optional switch in the Scanner command line,
[path] is the optional xBSD path that defines the location to be
checked
[filemasks] are the optional xBSD file masks that define the files to
be checked for viruses. By default, the program checks for vi-
ruses in all executable files.
Before you start scanning you can define the scanner settings, i.e.
objects to be checked for viruses, actions to be taken regarding
those objects, advanced scanning tools to be used etc. (see sub-
chapter 5.1). When started, the program automatically loads settings
from defUnix.prf that is supplied with Kaspersky Anti-Virus for
xBSD Mail Server. However, if you created a new profile and speci-
fied its name in the DefaultProfile line of AvpUnix.ini, your Scanner will
load settings from this file. However, if, when started, the program
will find no profile, it will use its default settings. Finally, settings from
the profile may be redefined by available command line switches.
If you want to load settings from a profile that is different from that defined
in the .ini file, start the program using the command line switch
-F=profile_name. For a complete list of available command line switches re-
fer to Appendix B.
When starting Scanner from a script file, you can review its exit codes. Re-
fer to Appendix B for a complete list of available exit codes and an exam-
ple of their analysis within the script file.
You may start Scanner from the installation diskette. It is advisable that you
create boot diskettes for xBSD and save Kaspersky Anti-Virus for xBSD
Mail Server together with the virus-definition databases on them (you will
need several diskettes). Those diskettes will be useful restoring your
system in the case of virus attack.
