Re: Need help excluding certain file type from reports

Thanks for your help and quick reply. I am using the HOSTNAME and 
HOSTURL commands in my script. I have created the separate config file 
as you have suggested and looks like that is the way forward. I did 
receive a couple of errors but looks like the problem now is within my 
script.

Thanks again.

But how you get that argument to only be used for that client, and not for everyone else, depends on how your script is currently configured. If you are just looping through a list of directories, then then the simplest solution might be to include an addition config file on the command line (+g/%dir/custom.cfg) and only create the custom.cfg file in the subdirectory of the customer that needs it. You'll get a warning that Ananlog couldn't find the custom.cfg file for the other customers, but Analog will still create the reports.
