- Logger 2.0 cdev, © 1988 by Ricardo Batista.
-
- Logger 2.0 is a cdev file (Shareware, see below) that when it is inside your System Folder will install some code that allows you to see what
- is being done with your Macintosh. To install Logger simply put into
- your System Folder and Restart your computer. To remove simply take
- it out of your System Folder and Restart the Mac.
-
- Logger is a cdev (Control Panel file). To configure Logger, select the
- Control Panel desk accessory and then click on the Logger icon. Logger will
- create a file called “Log File” (if it doesn’t exist) in your System Folder.
- The options you can select in the Control Panel is to make an entry in the
- Log File when :
-
- Files are Created,
- Files are Deleted,
- Files or drivers are Opened,
- Files or drivers are Closed,
- Files are Renamed,
- Applications are Launched,
- Resource files are opened,
- The computer is turned off.
-
- The entries in the Log File look something like this :
-
- Shutting down on Wednesday, June 22, 1988 10:06:00 PM
-
- File Sales renamed to Old Sales Wednesday, June 22, 1988 10:06:00 PM
-
- You can also select if you want a tab or a space to separate the fields of
- the entries. Configuration changes you make take effect next time your
- computer is restarted.
-
- Log File is a standard TEXT file that can be read with any word processor
- or spreadsheet. Each entry is divided in three fields, what, date, and time.
- A carriage return is always at the end of each record.
-
- Sometimes I take my Mac to my work and leave it there for a few days
- or weeks because I need it there. The problem is that some people uses my
- Mac while I am not there, so I wanted to know what they do with
- my Mac. A few people wrote me letters stating that they use Logger for
- tax purposes. I hope you’ll find some use to Logger.
-
- Version, 1.02 fixed a bug that caused a bomb with ResEdit and
- incorporated the Shutdown entry in the Log File.
-
- Version 2.0 is now fully configurable cdev and adds many other
- functions as described before in this document.
-
- If you use Logger, please send me 10 dollars along with your ideas
- for improvement and things you would like to see to :

- Note : Due to the constant changes in the system software, the launch
- code is not called under MultiFinder unless you transfer from one
- Application to another or use a utility such as Quickeys from CE
- Software. The inconvenience is that no entry is made in the Log File if
- you double click an application under the Finder while using MultiFinder.
- Apple notified me that at the moment there is no workaround to this problem.
-
- Logger can be distributed electronically in Bulletin Board Systems as long
- as this document is also given with Logger.

- WARNING :
-
- Logger CAN NOT BE DISTRIBUTED BY “MONTHLY MAGAZINES
- ON A DISK” SUCH AS “Up Time”, and “The MacConnection” without
- written permission from the author.
