smtpd and ::log

[Roar Johnsen]

Hi...

I use the smtpd library and created a very simple mailserver.
Recently I added GUI, which works very well.

Now I want it to be easy to turn on and off debug information.
I have created a button to turn it on and off. But I cannot get the
debug information to appear in a text widget.

Before, I just uncommented/commented the following lines :

#::log::lvSuppress debug
#::log::lvSuppress notice

Now I want that same info appear in a text widget.
How can I do that

Best Regards

Roar :)

There is a log::Puts command which is called to write all output. I
suggest you create something like

proc ::log::Puts {level text} {
.text insert end $text TAG-$level
return
}

I advise against this. Doing this overwrites a procedure internal to
the log package with external code. That I consider a bad idea.

Create a procedure like above, with a different name, and then use the
API command "log::lvCmd" and "log::lvCmdForall" to tell the log
package to use this command for the output.

See also http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/log.html, section
DESCRIPTION for basic examples, or the manpage for log.
