As I wrote before, the Event Dispatcher is officially available as of release 7.6 (this is the release which the documentation refers to), not 7.5.

Can you > tell me anything about this 7.5 approach to using events? You must create/modify the Event Dispatcher's config file manually using a text editor. You can create your own configuration file <myfile> wherever you want. When starting the Event Dispatcher, use parameter -cf <myfile>. Since you are interested in the AUTOLOG event, your configuration file must contain the line AUTOLOG=<your commandline call> <your commandline call> can be any program that you can start from the command line. To parameterize it, besides hardcoding parameters, you may use the so-called "predefined parameters" from the documentation of the add command. Please keep in mind that the Event Dispatcher in 7.5. is not official.
