Hi,

If I execute bro in command line  
$ bro -i interface script.bro  
All logs are written in the currently directory. It’s possible change the directory if I execute in command line?

Thanks

Funny enough, that has never been a feature in Bro because it's not necessary with how people typically deploy Bro. I would recommend changing to the directory where you want your logs to land before starting Bro.
