Changing the Default Location of Logs
The default location for SUU event logs in Windows is
<
%systemdrive% >:\dell\suu. The default location for the logs in Linux is
/var/log/dell/suu.
When you type suu with a command and a directory path, you can change
the default location for logs for that session of SUU. To change the directory
location for logs for a session of SUU, type:
suu <command> -directory <path>
For example, if you type suu -u -directory c:\tmp, SUU runs an
update on the system and redirects logs to c:\tmp instead of c:\dell\suu.
