H,
If we were triggering it - then that would have been our

want to

What you're looking for is a program alias that launches your

This is confusing. Message Sniffer has always written

that does not change. External utilities could be

The only time this has changed is with the new beta
which includes a

If your log file was being rotated then it was
handled by another
utility
on your system and that utility has stopped
working.
Hope this helps,
