CONLOG

Use at the server console to

Capture all console messages generated at the server while CONLOG is loaded
Write the messages to the SYS:\ETC\CONSOLE.LOG default file (or to another file of your choice)

Parameter	Use to
FILE=log filename	Specify the log file you want to use if you don't want CONLOG to write to the default log file (CONSOLE.LOG). The log filename parameter is used with SFT III servers, whose three engines must each write to a different log file.
SAVE=backup file name	Specify the filename in which you want to save the preexisting console log. This parameter enables AUTOEXEC.NCF to load CONLOG without overwriting the previous console log. Use this parameter if you want to examine the old console log for troubleshooting purposes.
MAXIMUM=max file size	Specify the maximum size, in kilobytes, of the log file. If the log file exceeds the max file size, it is deleted---or renamed if backup filename was specified. In either case, logging starts over with an empty log file.
ENTIRE=YES	Capture the lines already on the screen at the time CONLOG is loaded. Without this parameter, CONLOG starts logging with the next output to the console after it is loaded.
HELP	View a description of each CONLOG command parameter.

You can view the console log from the Internetworking Configuration utility (INETCFG) or with any text editor. Console messages can reveal errors that occur during system initialization.
IMPORTANT: Do not use EDIT to view the console log while INETCFG is loaded.
The command LOAD CONLOG is typically added to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, as in the following example:
FILE SERVER NAME NETW41_SVR
IPX INTERNAL NET C92556E
LOAD CONLOG
LOAD REMOTE
LOAD RSPX

To start capturing console messages during system initialization, type
LOAD CONLOG
To load CONLOG but save the current log file as CLOG.BAK and limit the size of CONSOLE.LOG to 100 KB, type
LOAD CONLOG SAVE=CLOG.BAK MAXIMUM=100
To stop capturing console messages, type
UNLOAD CONLOG
