4.8 Log Files

All script output is sent to the screen, if enabled, and is potentially sent to a log file. Proper usage of the LogFile, LogDir, and LogToFile variables determines if and when output is sent to a log file. For the Results Tracking System, if the file specified to be used already exists, the filename is modified based on the Test Definition.

The file format for XPOZ log files is HTML. This allows for easy browsing via a Web browser. All coloration notations are maintained with this approach.

The log file name (variable LogFile) can be changed from within a script. This is occasionally beneficial when it makes sense to isolate and report on a subset of the script separately from the rest of the script.
