LOGMSG.EXE - A message log command line utility for DOS. Usage: >LOGMSG Message text The LOGMSG command is a general purpose DOS utility for adding date and time stamped messaged to a log file. "Message text" is echoed to the standard output device with a date and time stamp attached. This output can be redirected to a file as follows: >LOGMSG Message that overwrites a file. > MSGLOG.TXT or >LOGMSG Message that is appended to a file. >> MSGLOG.TXT Note the use of a single '>' symbol to overwrite the destination file and the double '>>' symbols to append the text to an existing file. When the latter form is used, the file will be created if it does not already exist. This utility was specifically written for Cron the Clock Daemon. When Cron executes a DOS batch file, it is able to log the start of the event but has no way to know when the job is completed. Using LOGMSG, the batch file can append a "Completed" message and/or progress messages to the CRONLOG.TXT file, if this level of tracking is desired. LOGMSG is distributed by Software Engineering, Inc. with Cron the Clock Daemon. It may not be re-distributed unless accompanied by the Cron program and its associated files.
