Re: [Burp-users] Windows client log file location?

[Michael K. <mh...@ko...>]

OK, so basically the answer is 'nowhere', so it's not that I'm missing anything.

I poked around a little, and redirection of scheduled task output is
ever so slightly non-obvious on windows.

I found a discussion here:
http://richarddingwall.name/2009/01/26/capture-the-output-from-a-scheduled-task/

What I ended up with was
"C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" /C "C:\Program Files\Burp\bin\burp.exe"
-a t > C:\burpclient.log 2>&1

Note that when entering this into the Windows Task Scheduler GUI, you
put "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" as the program and all the rest as
the arguments.

It works fine, and it'll be perfect for debugging problems in the future.

Thanks all!
