Log Files

As of 2.x, the wsprrypi service will log messages to a single log. /var/log/wsprrypi/wsprrypi_log.

You may review these text files with standard Linux tools:

• cat /var/log/wsprrypi/wsprrypi_log: Print the log’s contents to the screen.

• more /var/log/wsprrypi/wsprrypi_log: View the log using the system paging feature (man more for more details).

• tail -f /var/log/wsprrypi/wsprrypi_log: Show the end of the log and continue to show new lines as they are logged (man tail for more information.)

• You may also view the live log file via the web UI.

The logd daemon rotates the log daily, compresses the old log, and retains 14 logs (14 days).
