Watch this space for descriptions of the settings in /etc/default/merge. Until then follow the directions of other documentation for changing certain settings.

Note: The filename specification:
Note: Environment variable setting: The Logging variable must be set to one of the following forms:
xxxxxxxx:filename filename:xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx filenameWhere filename is the filename specification as explained above, and xxxxxxxx is up to a eight hex digit value (for 32 bit flags). Each bit flag enables a certain kind of logging. The different programs use the big flags in different ways, and not all the 32 bit flags are necessarily always used. Also the significance of the bit flags may change from release to release. So typically you only use the default except when advised to try another value.
For those programs that have a logging start/stop signal, the setting can be preceded by a plus character, "+", which delays the start of logging to when start signal is done. Examples using the '+' variation:
+/tmp/mylog:1ffff +@homelog +ffffffff +The default DOS_LOG and XCRT_LOG setting in /etc/default/merge are both "+". This means that when the SIGPWR signal is send to the dos, win or xcrt processes then they will start logging using the default filename and bit flag value.
When sending the signal to the dos or win process, you must be careful to send it to the correct process. Each session has two dos or two win processes. One process is the "parent" of the other. This signal is to be sent to the parent process, NOT the child process.
