Greetings,

Having responded to Matthew's request for a few people to set up a test 
network of NGR servers, I'm now wondering how the one I've started can be 
more useful. I've been using  it to retrieve various random things, and when 
I have a few moments from time to time I'll insert something into the 
network.  

Running the server and exercising it a little is all fine,and dandy,  but 
what about the information from error messages and the log output that's 
currently being dumped unwatched into a file on the host here? I'm split 
heavily on a bunch of other work, and I'll likely miss anything interesting 
that might be coughed up. So, an idea: Would it be completely stupid to 
capture the log output periodically, grep it for stuff suggested as 
interesting material by the developers, then gzip and  mail the result to 
some address where Matthew or whoever is responsible for all this can have a 
look at it? Sure, there's quite a bit in the logs but by removing all the 
unexceptional stuff maybe something would remain that would be useful if only 
you could see it. This could all be done effortlessly by a script. In fact, 
such a script could fashioned so that the items to search for could be 
retrieved along w/ the daily snapshot jar retrieval.

Whatever helps get things working better- if you want the entire log for 
every day I'll be happy to send it. It just seems like a shame to be stabbing 
around in the dark (so to speak, I'm sure you're not actually) when there's 
all this info available if only you could see it.

Given the nature of the NGR test network, it's hard to think that such a 
scheme would be a dreadful security compromise or somehow expose the network 
to danger. 

I mention all of this in part because a few hours ago while I was busy with a 
conference call I noticed the console on  the NGR box here spit out a dire 
warning having to with a serious JVM error or somesuch. Unfortunately I 
couldn't do a thing about it at the time and now I can't find it in the log, 
though it's presumably in there someplace.

Over and out.
