about RTE console

2005-07-26 Thread 前川享仁
Hi gurus,

In my project, some say that logging informations should be
outputted into RTE console with {output} and {dump} procedures.

I know RTE console is good, but I'm afraid whether
it can run even for 24 hours * 365 days and never effect applets.
Because the applets could be used for all 24 hours,
so logging informations written in the console could be very numerous.

Is there anyone who knows about this?
If you know, please tell me.

Regards.

 I think this would take up increasing amounts of memory over
 time. It would probably be better if you were to log to a file
 instead.

Actually the IDE output pane and the RTE console have a built-in limit
of 1 lines of output.  So in theory the RTE console's memory use
would grow until you reach 1 lines and then it would level off.

Personally I wouldn't use the RTE and/or IDE consoles for extended
logging purposes.  Instead I would log the data to a file on disk.
This has a few benefits:

- You can truncate the log yourself, and keep the amount of data that
  you're interested in.

- If you run more than one applet, you don't have to worry about
  trying to figure out which applet produced which output.

- It's easier to monitor the log output from a remote computer or
  another editor without having to bring up the Surge UI.
