...
When it is invoked by the “Log Monitor & Dispatcher”, the current directory of the batch process is set to the same folder from which the “Log Monitor & Dispatcher” was previously installed as a service or from which it was started as a background process. This means that the user action file may, in principle, operate with relative paths and relocate (as part of the whole configuration, i.e. together with accompanying LOG file).
| Note |
|---|
The user action file will not invoke interactive applications as it may run in an environment where interactive services do not work, for example: when “Log Monitor & Dispatcher” is installed as a service. |
Starting in background mode
In order to start the Log Monitor & Dispatcher as a background application:
- Open "cmd.exe" from the "Start" menu.
Change current directory to the folder (presumably) containing the LOG file.
Start the Log Monitor & Dispatcher using the following command line as an example (for Windows x64; for Windows x86 use the following path: "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Utilities_X.X.XXXXX\x86"):
For single log file:
(x86)Div class small ...> "C:\Program Files
Utilities_X.X.XXXXX\CHARON\Build_XXX\x86\logmond" my_charon.log.
For rotating log file:
(x86)Div class small ...> "C:\Program Files
Utilities_X.X.XXXXX\CHARON\Build_XXX\x86\logmond" -l <log-directory> -p <log-prefix>.
where:
- <log-directory> is the directory where the rotating log files are stored
- <log-prefix> is the same as the "configuration_name" value in corresponding CHARON configuration file (or "hw_model", if "configuration_name" is not specified).

To stop the Log Monitor & Dispatcher application, open the Task Manager, find the “logmond.exe” process and terminate it.
Installing as a service
In order to install the Log Monitor & Dispatcher as a background application:
Open "cmd.exe" from the "Start" menu in "Run as Administrator" mode.
Install Log Monitor & Dispatcher service using the following command line as an example:
Utilities_1.0.XXXXX...> "C:\Program Files\CHARON\
Utilities_1.0.XXXXXBuild_XXX\x86\logmond" -r
...> "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Build_XXX\x86\logmond" -i
As result the "logmond" service has "Manual" service start type. Use Windows service management tools to change this mode to "Automatic" if it is required.
Starting the Log Monitor and Dispatcher service
In order to start the Log Monitor & Dispatcher as a background application:
Open "cmd.exe" from the "Start" menu in "Run as Administrator" mode.
Start the Log Monitor & Dispatcher service using the following command line as an example:
Utilities_1.0.XXXXX...> "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Build_XXX\x86\logmond" -u
It is also possible to use Windows service management tools to start up the service.
As soon as "logmond" service is installed this way, and started, it monitors all CHARON instances (provided that these are installed as services).
It does NOT monitor emulator instances started from Launcher or manually from command line prompt. But these cases can still be monitored with "logmond" invoked from command line prompt with name of the log file as an argument (see above).
Stopping the Log Monitor and Dispatcher service
In order to stop the Log Monitor & Dispatcher as a background application:
Open "cmd.exe" from the "Start" menu in "Run as Administrator" mode.
Stop the Log Monitor & Dispatcher service using the following command line as an example
Utilities_1.0.XXXXX...> "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Build_XXX\x86\logmond" -d
It is also possible to use Windows service management tools to stop the service.
