I did not know EQ could have command line access to our local computers

Eh it's not as crazy as the title makes it sound. You can also browse your computer's files with the music player. This doesn't mean the staff or anyone on the game can access your computer. It's local stuff.

I believe just one example of it's use could be to,. delete or rename a log file.
Macro such as

/LOG OFF
/SYSTEM erase C:\EverQuest\logs\eqlog_Baler_project1999.txt
/LOG ON

or

/LOG OFF
SYSTEM rename "C:\EverQuest\logs\eqlog_Baler_project1999.txt" "eqlog_Baler_project1999.txt.bac"
/LOG ON

Last example would rename the log file to w.e you want. Could even set a date/time if you know how. ps. I stole these macros off eq forums)
These particular examples could be useful if you wanted to gather a log file for a specific thing.

edit: for Year-Month-Day_HoursMinutes

SYSTEM rename "C:\EverQuest\logs\eqlog_Baler_project1999.txt"  "eqlog_Baler_project1999.%date:~10,4%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~4,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%.txt"

This would make it eqlog_Baler_project1999.2017-26-06_2303.txt

again all this is just one example of it's use.

Every program does, should they choose to use it.
