You can manage operation of Dr.Web for UNIX from the command line with the help of a special command-line tool—Dr.Web Ctl (drweb-ctl). You can do the following actions from the command line: •Start scanning file system objects including boot records •Start updating anti-virus components (virus databases, anti-virus engine, etc. depending on the distribution). •View and change parameters of Dr.Web for UNIX configuration •View the status of the product's components and statistics on detected threats •View quarantine and manage quarantined objects (via the Dr.Web File Checker component). •Connect to the central protection server or disconnect from it (if it is supported by the used product). Commands entered by the user to control the product can have an effect only if the Dr.Web ConfigD configuration daemon is running (by default, it is automatically launched at the operating system’s startup).
The Dr.Web Ctl tool supports auto-completion of commands for managing Anti-virus operation if this option is enabled in the used command shell. If the command shell does not allow auto-completion, you can configure this option. For that purpose, refer to the instruction manual for the used OS distribution.
