Thanks for the response, Pete!
I was using both parameters in my scheduled pattern download script,
which would tell Sniffer that there was a new pattern, and would rotate
the logs before uploading them back to you.
With the new (beta) version, both extras have become redundant, so I've
removed them from my script.
Andrew.

deprecated, as neither parameter appears in the help or in the

True -- if you called the SNFClient with rotate or reload then
it would interpret those as the names of files to scan; would most
likely not find them; and would produce a harmless error in the log
file.
SNFServer automatically reloads configuration files and rulebase
files when they are altered or replaced.
SNFServer can rotate log files on a per-day basis by including a
date stamp in their name. If you move a log file manually or by a script
then a new one will be created as needed.
