Re: [Wrapper-user] Q: stdout output ends up in the logfile when running wrapper.exe -c .. but not when running wrapper -t ....

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

Hans,
Can you describe your directory structure a bit more.   Where is the 
wrapper.log file
that you are seeing being generated?  I ask because the Wrapper has a 
fail mode
where it will default to creating a file called wrapper.log in the same 
directory as the
wrapper.exe if it can not write to the configured wrapper.logfile for 
any reason.
When running as a service, it may also fall back to writing in the 
windows/system32
directory.

Now, as to why it would be unable to write the file.   The Wrapper runs 
as the
currently logged in user when running console mode.  When it is running 
as a service
however, it will default to running as the SYSTEM user.  You can change 
this using
the wrapper.ntservice.account property, but the default is the SYSTEM user.

If you have set up any access permissions on your directory structure, 
it may not
be possible for the SYSTEM user to write to the directory you have specified
for your log file.   The SYSTEM user is also unable to access network 
drives.

Cheers,
Leif
