windows dedicated server 0271 console output log

Post by iceman »

I tried using the dos redirect > as armagetron_dedicated.exe > log.txt and this does indeed send all output to the file but the problem with this is that theres no echo to the screen so although im still able to type console commands at the server im unable to see them :lol:

is there a command line switch that allows the console output to be logged to a text file and still display on screen ?

I looked through the doc folder but couldnt find this option

Look for a program called "tee", it takes standard input, saves it to a file, and displays it as well. It's a unix program, but there are several Windows ports out there. Then use
armagetron_dedicated.exe | tee log.txt

I run the CVS test server that way.
