Writing to the process error file (<process name.err>)

[Abe Rastkar]

I was wandering if there is a way to write to the process error file from within a TPS proc.

By writing to stderr, the output should go the error log.

For example:

Code:

puts stderr “This should go to the error log.”

That would be nice if it worked that way, but you’ll find that that line will print to the process.log, not the process.err file.

However, it will be added as an ERR line.

Example output:

Code:

[tcl :err :ERR /0:  test_stderr:03/01/2013 10:12:04] This should go to the error log.

Thanks for setting me straight.  I thought that I had written to the process.err log in the past using that technique, but looking into it deeper, I think that I was using the “error” command to write to the process.err file.

Code:

error “This is an ERROR message.”

Unfortunately, I’m betting that this wasn’t exactly what Abe was looking for.

Just when you think you understand…  😉
