This may just be an "aspect" of the Windows version.
Win7, Python 2.7.3, Volatility 2.1 RC3.
After receiving MLH's direction on getting "conf-file" to work on
Windows, I set the profile and location in my conf file.
Works fine:
python <pathTo>\vol.py --conf-file="<my conf file>"
--plugins="<pathToMyPlugins>" someSillyPlugin
Does NOT work:
python <pathTo>\vol.py --plugins="<pathToMyPlugins>"
--conf-file="<my conf file>" someSillyPlugin
The error:
__main__ : Please specify a location (-l) or filename (-f)
I don't know if this is also true on non-Windows systems.
