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. The commands do not exist in 7.5.

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.

HTH,
Marc-Philip
