Log script messages 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.
