<div class=WordSection1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m having difficulty with the trace command.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If I specify no filename, it will send the output to the F9
session window. Good.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, while this is good for casually checking to make
sure things are working, it is virtually useless for tracking down a problem because
things scroll of the screen and are gone. Also, it’s lost when you
close JNOS.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If I specify a filename, it will no longer send the output
to the F9 session window. Bad. Now I can’t see what’s
going on interactively.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also, when I specify a filename, the file is created, but
has zero size and nothing in it until I exit JNOS. Really BAD. So
now I have no trace output at all while JNOS is operating and, if it crashes,
it may not be able to write the trace output file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So, putting this together, tracking down a problem is
virtually impossible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It seems to me that:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1) JNOS should always write to the F9 session (unless strace
is off, in which case, it would write to the F10 session)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2) If a file is names, then JNOS would ALSO write to the
file<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3) JNOS should write to the file as it is
running. NOT buffer everything up until it terminates.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a
workaround? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
