ProcOff Log File

Latest Version: 1.6 Size:543KB Released: 19-March-2012

The program generates a log file to enable fault finding and monitoring to be carried out. The amount of logging is dependent on the Log Level set in the Configuration Screen which has details of the various levels available. If the Log Level is set to Normal or Full the program version will be included on start up. If the log level is set to Full details of the configuration file will also be written to the log on start up. Setting the log level to Full will generate very large log files and is only useful for debugging. If the log file is deleted a new one will be created the next time the program is started. The log file can normally be found in the log directory of the main program (usually c:\program files\JSutils\ProcOff\Log).

By clicking on the Archive button the log file can either be saved and a new one created or just cleared. Archived log files are stored in the same directory as the log file using the file naming convention ProcOff_<year><month><day>_z.log where z is a number starting at 1 allowing multiple files to be archived on a single day. They can be viewed using any suitable text editor such as Notepad.

Log File Format

The log file generated by the main and slave programs has the following format:

<data/time>, <status>, <status details>, <counter>, <process status >, <connection status>

Where:
<data/time> shows current data and time from the computer's internal clock.
<status> shows program status (Cancel - shutdown cancelled, Close - program ended normally, Config - configuration change, Enter - program enters new mode, Exit - program terminated by exit button, Hibernate - program in hibernate delay, Inactive - program inactive, Monitor - program in monitor off delay, Power Off - program in power off delay, Reboot - program in reboot delay, Reset - program reset by reset button, Run - program active and running, Simulate - program simulating action, Shutdown - program in shutdown delay, Standby - program in standby delay, Start - program starts).
<status details> shows status details(Activate, Initialise, Hibernate, Monitor, Power Off, Reboot, Run, Shutdown, Standby, Test, Updated).
<count> is the value of the internal program counter (count will be negative if the program is started after the fixed activation time).
<process status > - is the status of up to 3 specified processes (P1, P2, P3).
<connection status> - 'C' indicates connected, 'E' indicates connection error

A '*' in front of <status> indicates the program is in test mode.

'(F)' after Start in <status> indicates forced shutdown initiated.

<process status> and <connection status> are only shown if the log level is set to Full.
