I've got a strange problem: I cannot find my fe.log anywhere. I am using Fastecho 5.12+, and have the pathname set, but it isn't there. Nor anywere on the hard drives in the computer.

Strange??

Any suggestions???

i'll say that's strange... there is no FE 5.12, for one thing... according to your control lines (quoted above) you are using FE 1.45...

Strange??

Any suggestions???

how long as this been going on? can you find it /while/ mail is being tossed? when did you first notice that the log was missing?

5.12? Where did that come from? Last version I remember seeing of fastecho (the
verion I use) is 1.46pl1.

You are talking about the FastEcho program written by Tobias Burtchard(SP!) to toss Fidonet compatable echomail/netmail packets into the message base, right?

Have you looked in your fesetup to see where the fe.log is defined as being and
looked in that directory?

Sorry, my mistake, you are right, it IS v1.45+

Everything seems to be working properly, all mails going to the right areas. I
first noticed it a couple of days ago.

I have not emailed Tobias about it yet, but that is my next task.
Hoping I could get help without bothering him.

{blush}, you're right, it is v1.45+, not 5.12 {grin}

According to the setup program, it should be in the FastEcho directory, but is not. Everything else works fine, all mails are delivered correctly, but the log is 'invisible'.

Maybe it somehow got a hidden attribute? try going to a command line in the fe dir and type: type fe.log

of course if your log is not fe.log then change fe.log to whatever the log file
name should be. If it actually shows info then you have aquired the hidden and/or system attribute. The command attrib -r -s -h fe.log will fix that.

No, as a matter of fact, I am not. But I finally sent a message to Tobias today, and wait his reply.

I have seen this behavior recently too (sorry to reply to such an old thread),

Strange??

I went to check the log just now and it is there but only has entries for today
in it, other times it does not exist at all till FE runs and it will re-appear with only the latest entry in it, I have no sceduled log trimming software running and just archive the logs manually about once per month, so I'll read on to see where this thread leads :-).

I haven't used Warp for about 7 years! I just threw Warp Server 4 into the rubbish bin yesterday - :-( My server is Debian.
