LOGTO Start saving script output to a text file
Syntax:
LOGTO(file,APPEND)
- file: name of the log file. A path may also be included.
- APPEND (optional): append the script messages to the file instead of overwriting it.
Return value:
This command will return “OK” or else an error code if something went wrong opening the log file.
Remarks:
If the file exists it will be overwritten, use the APPEND parameter to change this behaviour.
