LOG
Command syntax: LOG <log-file-name> or LOG close
Minimum abbreviation: L
Example: "LOG crab"
When this command is issued, PIMMS opens a log file (default extension
.log). Thereafter, screen outputs from PIMMS
(except for questions/prompts) will be copied to the log file.
LOG CLOSE will close the current log file; the purpose of this
command would be to send further output to a separate
log file. This command will indicate error if (1) a log file is already
open; (2) (on UNIX systems) the specified file already exists; (3) (on
VMS systems) when the specified "log file name" is also a DCL Logical;
and (4) PIMMS failed to open the file for the usual reasons, including
a lack of disk space and file system protection.
PIMMS currently forces output file names to be all lowercase.
