I'm looking for stack traces. People report defects and we get a stack trace and I need to see it in the log, but instead, the log is still in the buffer. Usually I have to shutdown the server and start it back up to get the log entries. I'd just like to be able to flush the logs without shutting down the server.

Can you explain a little more about where what is generating log data and into which log it is being written? How long is the delay between when you expect the event to happen and the emission of a log record? p >> Try using: > >> tail -f stdout.log > >> If you have a POSIX environment handy (like Cygwin, or gnuutils or >> whatever). > >> - -chris > >> PS: vi on Windows?
