Problem using ashcmd to run task

system · 2006-09-04T20:01:13.000Z

I am running Avast 4.7 Pro, recently installed, under XP SP2. I am trying to use ashcmd to run an Avast task I have created; the task runs fine from the Avast interface, but not from ashcmd.

The task is called Mercury; it scans a folder called …mercury\mail and subfolders. If I run it from the Avast Enhanced Interface, it scans 1248 files in 11 folders. If I run it from the command line it scans 1 file.

My command line is

ashcmd @Mercury

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks, Chris

Please use
ashCmd /@=Mercury

Thanks, Igor. That works.
I’m glad I asked, I would not have guessed.
I was going from the Help text, which states:

The command line of ashCmd looks like this:
ashCmd @ | []
If you want to start an avast! task, put its name after the “@” character.

Should I report this as a bug, or will the appropriate people spot it here?

Thanks, Chris

Well, I’d rather call it a mismatch between the documentation and reality
I’ll see if the help files can be updated somehow.
