SLogNote 1.10 - Documentation
(c) Copyright 1995-96, Paradigm Software, All Rights Reserved
Introduction
SLogNote is a utility that will log notes to a file. SLogNote
writes the date, time, node address, user name and a message that
you specify to this file. This utility works with Novell Netware
3.x networks.
SLogNote was designed as a complimentary utility for our LogNote
product. The "S" stands for Secure. SLogNote's log files are not
ASCII viewable. The information written is by SLogNote is scrambled
so that a casual user may not review the log file. In some cases,
the network administrator may not wish users to see the contents.
Since read/write rights are required in order for the utility to
work, LogNote would allow the end-user to review the logfile.
SLogNote will not.
Since the file is scrambled, please be aware that any corruption
that occurs to the file is likely to ruin any chance you have of
reviewing that section of the log.
Shareware
SLogNote is distributed in a shareware format. Registered users
receive a version without the demo notice.
Usage
SLOGNOTE <File> <Message>
<File> is the log file name, with or without a DOS path
<Message> is the message you wish to log
SLogNote will add the following information to the log file
with the message: Date, Time, Node Address, Novell User Name
Examples
SLOGNOTE f:\login\in.txt "User logged into network"
The above example might be called from the system login script to
record when users actually login to the network.
Translation of Logfiles
Three utilties are provided to help the administrator translate
the log files.
SXLATE translate the log file into ASCII text. For example,
SXLATE logfile.log ascii.log will create ascii.log which is
human readable.
SXLATECD translate the log file into an ASCII comma delimited
file. For example, SXLATECD logfile.log ascii.cd will create
ascii.cd which can be imported into any program supporting
comma delimited files.
SXBACK translate the log file into ASCII text. For example,
SXBACK logfile.log ascii.log will create ascii.log which is
human readable. SXBACK starts at the bottom of the file and
works backwards towards the top. This way, you may still
translate portions of a file that have been corrupted.
Return Codes
0 - All OK
1 - Incorrect number of parameters
2 - Could not open/create log file
Additional Information
We will continue to post additional translation and reporting
utilities on our BBS for our clients. Custom versions are also
available. Drop us a note on our BBS at 703-450-0875.
