/OUTPUT_LOG_FILE [ = file_spec ] (WATCH and SAVE_SCREEN qualifier)
This qualifier creates a log file of the Peek/Spy session. It can
be used with the PEEK, SPY and WATCH verbs.
It can also be used with the SAVE_SCREEN command to start terminal
logging. See the top-level PEEK Subtopic: Commands SAVE_SCREEN
/OUTPUT_LOG_FILE.
When used with the WATCH subcommand, this qualifier specifies that
Peek/Spy should create an output log file containing everything which
is output during the period of time in which the watcher is
observing the user's screen.
The default file spec is taken from the logical WATCHER$OUTPUT_LOG_FILE.
If nothing is specified by this default and if /OUTPUT_LOG_FILE is
specified without the optional file_spec, then PEEK will generate
a log file in the current default directory using a default
log-file name in one of the following formats:
PEEK_username_terminal_name.LOG
PEEK_terminal_name.LOG
The first of these is used when you begin watching a terminal which
is owned by some process. The second format is used by SPY only
when watching an unowned terminal.
Logging is continued until watching is terminated by one of the
END_WATCH, NEXT or PREVIOUS sequences.
/LOG and /OUTPUT_LOG are synonymous.
Examples:
$ PEEK JONES /OUTPUT=SAVE_OUTPUT.JONES
- or -
$ DEFINE WATCHER$OUTPUT_LOG_FILE SAVE_OUTPUT.JONES
$ PEEK JONES /LOG
