Re: [Wrapper-user] console not displayed when interact with desktop is on

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Andy,
(Excuse me but AHHHHHH!!!)  Sorry, I worked hard to get rid of the 
Console. :-)
Most users only wish to display a Swing GUI in interactive mode and they are
opposed to an "ugly" console being left around.   The behavior of the 
console
is a little different with each of the various JVMs.   I'll look into 
adding a way to
show the console when run as a service.  It shouldn't be too difficult.

One option in the mean time is to use a tail program to view the log 
output. 
I placed a great little tool that I always use up on the web server.  I 
found it a
few years ago.  I like to give credit where credit is due, but I 
honestly can't
remember where I found it :-/
Anyway, it is at http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/tools/TAIL2.EXE
The only parameter is the file you want to tail.

Cheers,
Leif
