Command line value: DEBUGSTART
Applies to: Syslogd.exe, Syslogd_Service.exe & Syslogd_Manager.exe
Effect:
When the program is run with this command line value, a debug file is created in the install directory. The file name will depend on the executable name (see below). The debug file will contain the results from the program start-up and socket initialization routines.
Files created:
SyslogNormal = Syslogd_Startup.txt
SyslogService = Syslogd_Service_Startup.txt
SyslogManager = Syslogd_Manager_Startup.txt
When to use:
If the program does not appear to be receiving messages on the port specified on the "Inputs" setup option, check the start-up debug file to ensure the sockets initialized correctly.
If the program appears to crash on start-up, this option can help locate the problem.
Debugging the Service Edition.
Since the service can't be provided with a command line argument, a registry entry can be set instead.
