Would be nice if there was an option to log the client "messages" to a local logfile.

Sometimes PC's need to be rebooted, in which case, all the most recent local messages are lost.

So, how about a "tick-box" to (optionally) allow these messages to be kept in a local "logfile".

rgds,

You probably use Windows ... and never used a CLI application.
Look in your BOINC folder for files named:
stdout.txt or stderr.txt and old saved .old

1st - I've used all sort of OS in my lifetime - going way back to DOS 3.1 (OK, so not that long ago !!)

2nd - I'd already looked in these folders (before I asked the question, stoopid) and the files you mentioned do not log everything - in fact they only log (on my PC) a days worth at most.

In the BOINC directory there is a stdout.txt and a stdout.old. The stdout.txt is the full log from the current run of BOINC. stdout.old is the full log from the previous run of BOINC.
