CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP automatically creates individual log files for each CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP execution session. If the log parameter is omitted CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP creates a log file for each CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP execution session in the directory where the emulator was started. In these two cases, the log rotation mode is enabled, meaning a new log file is created each time the virtual machine is started and when the log file size exceeds the one specified (see log_file_size) and/or when the log file is older than a specified number of days (see log_rotation_period).  A shortcut located in the same directory will be created, pointing to the active log file. Its name depends on the settings defined, is based on the hw_model parameter or the configuration_name and hw_modelparameter if specified.
If only a directory name is specified in the "log" parameter and the "configuration_name" parameter of the session is specified, the log file name is composed as follows: <configuration_name>-YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss-xxxxxxxxx.log |
If only a directory name is specified in the "log " parameter and the "configuration_name" parameter is omitted, the log file name will have the following format: <hw_model>-YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss-xxxxxxxxx.log |
where "xxxxxxxxx is " is an increasing decimal integer, starting from 000000000 to separate log files with the same time of creation (in case the log is being created faster than one log file per second).  Only existing directory can be used as a value of the "log" parameterspecified. If the directory specified does not exist, this will be considered as a flat file. No trailing \ backslash character is allowed.
Example: set session configuration_name="es40prod"
set session log="C:\Charon\Logs"
|
The execution of the virtual machine will create a log file, named C:\Charon\Logs\es40prod-2016-10-13-10-00-00-000000000.log (for example) and a shortcut named C:\Charon\Logs\es40prod.log pointing to this file |
