This was pointed out to me by support.. (its in teh pdf), I am yet to get it working though.
Transferring Parameters to an External Application You can transfer parameters for the external application after entering the path. Enter this as a space. The parameters are transferred in the order in which they are entered. You can control your external application through freely definable parameters, depending on the programming. This means, for example, that an application can be used for a variety of purposes. Depending on the context, the application can then be addressed with various parameters and therefore perform a variety of actions. Defined Parameter %LOG% The parameter %LOG% transfers the path and file name of the configuration file of the publication job if the user-defined job was automatically started after a publication. This setting can be made in SmartTree (Administer Publication -> Project -> Start User-defined Job). The configuration file also contains the path to the publication log files. This can be used by the external application, for example to read log files and therefore determine the file names of the published files.
