Hi Daniel,
i'd welcome if pca could log own activities as well as patchadd activities in better way then current syslog possibility ..
Making PCA log more shouldn't be a problem, but what exactly would be useful? I wouldn't want to direct the complete debug output to syslog, so I need some input here.
Originally I restricted logging to the only thing where the system is actually modified - which is when a patch is installed.
think about it please - i believe that some default /var/tmp/pca.log file will be appreciated by the most of folks.
I'm not keen on adding an extra logfile, me being a big fan of collecting all logging in syslog. As Glenn says, you can use syslog.conf to direct PCA's messages to a separate file, and you can set up log rotation in a way that log messages are kept forever.
Martin.
