Writing to process logs

[Chris Williams]

Running 5.2.1 on HP-UX 11i

In the TrxId proc I write to the process log. For the same message I will also write to the process log from within the xlate. Does anyone know why the echo/puts calls from the xlate sometimes arrive in the log before the ones from the TrxId proc?

Thanks.

Is has to do with the way the data is buffered by the OS.  If you want to make sure the echo or puts shows up immediately follow the echo/put with a flush command.
