Interesting tool. I hope that developers are paying attention as this will be very helpful in the debugging process.

We also hope users/testers will use it to submit better bug reports.

While I haven't installed this yet, it looks great. Are there any plans to implement alerts on certain logs via a dashboard notification?

Atomic Playboy · 08/19/2010, 04:50 PM

Is it okay?

No but seriously, this is cool, I'll give it a try.

Lumberjack is all sorts of awesome.

Sweet! Thanks so much for this Oil. Palm should have had something like this on phone from day one.

Just sent you guys another donation for this. Good work!

A must have tool for every developer!

Great, thanks! Guess I should have played with it before commenting.

Depending on what can be logged, I can see this being used as a security tool. I'd certainly like to know if certain applications are trying to access my personal information.

webfellow · 08/19/2010, 10:49 PM

Thanks, this is great.

Also, I am amused at the name; if only because I always call my logging methods/classes "lumberjack".

Dolio · 08/20/2010, 02:42 PM

awesome!

how about adding:
* Timestamps.
* regex inclide/exclude filters?

Very nice!!

Hey!

I see this over and over:

(LunaSysMgr) user.crit: void CpuShareManager::writeEntry(const char*, int): Failed to open cpu share file: /dev/cgroup/game/cpu.shares

Is this really critical? It seems like the kernel (F105) doesn't support something (Control Group Support?).

It's a webOS bug, unrelated to custom kernels.

The Linux kernel support "splitting up" CPU clock ticks depending on group membership (Control Groups). Check "General Setup" in makeconfig.

Yes, and webOS has a bug which omits creating this directory until the first PDK game is run, yet checking for it constantly before then.
