I'm running a TCL based shell on xterm from tcsh with tee into a log file (nice mixup :) )
At some point the session crashes, I can see the Fatal Error message for a brief moment before the xterm closes and than it's gone.
How can I get a hold on the crash information from the xterm session?
Trying to add & to the tee pipe ( ... |& tee -i ...) prevent me from even starting the xterm and it is needless to say the log contains nothing I can use.
Is there some place the information I'm looking for (the crash report\ fatal error message) in stored automatically?
Is there a way to force this debug information into a file?
One more thing - I don't have root access, so dnsmasq.log is out of my reach.
You can use the command-line option -hold even without modifying the script. Add this resource to your X resources (preferably to an xterm app-defaults file):
*hold: true
That makes each xterm act as if you ran it using
xterm -hold
because the command-line options are handled by setting X resource values. Since the window doesn't go away, you can select/paste from it.
If you are not really using xterm, but some imitator, of course, you're out of luck.
