DSCOMMAND?

That -log option is for writing log entries - hence your message. You want to use one or more of the following:

-logsum
-logdetail
-lognewest

You need to go through the manuals. The logdetail needs an event id. logsum does not and gives the entire log.

Put some effort into figuring this out on your own. At least a little. Please.

For example, from the command prompt type "dsjob -logdetail" and see what happens. A bog standard usage error just like you would expect from any UNIX command where the syntax is revealed.

It is also fully documented in the Command Line Interface chapter in the Server Job Developer's Guide and the online help if you twist it around a little. For example, see DSGetLogEntry in the online help for this particular function.
