LOGMSG.EXE - A message log command line utility for DOS.
Usage:
>LOGMSG Message text
The LOGMSG command is a general purpose DOS utility for adding date
and time stamped messaged to a log file. "Message text" is echoed to
the standard output device with a date and time stamp attached. This
output can be redirected to a file as follows:
>LOGMSG Message that overwrites a file. > MSGLOG.TXT
or
>LOGMSG Message that is appended to a file. >> MSGLOG.TXT
Note the use of a single '>' symbol to overwrite the destination file
and the double '>>' symbols to append the text to an existing file.
When the latter form is used, the file will be created if it does not
already exist.
This utility was specifically written for Cron the Clock Daemon. When
Cron executes a DOS batch file, it is able to log the start of the event
but has no way to know when the job is completed. Using LOGMSG, the
batch file can append a "Completed" message and/or progress messages to
the CRONLOG.TXT file, if this level of tracking is desired.
LOGMSG is distributed by Software Engineering, Inc. with Cron the Clock
Daemon. It may not be re-distributed unless accompanied by the Cron
program and its associated files.
