Changing Log Options

CRT allows you to customize the logging process by enabling or disabling the following options:ááprompt for filename, start log upon connect, raw log, and truncate or append.

To customize these options, select the Log File category in the Session Options dialog and enable/disable the options explained below.

Prompt for filename

If Prompt for filename is selected, the user is prompted for the session log filename when the log is started.

Start log upon connect

If Start Log Upon Connect is selected, then logging will be started whenever a connection is made.

By default, Start Log Upon Connect is not selected.

Raw log

If Raw log is selected, every character received by CRT including terminal escape sequences will be written to the session log file.

By default, Raw log is off.

Truncate vs. Append

You can set up logging to continuously append information to the end of the existing log file or you can overwrite the existing log file with the new sessionÆs logging information.

If the Truncate file option is selected and the session log file already exists, the current log file will be overwritten by the new session log file.

If the Append to file option is selected and the session log file already exists, the new session log will be appended to the existing log file.

If the log file does not already exist, a new file is created.
