I expect it wouldn't be too difficult to interface it to the Linux logging system if needed, or it could simply write to /var/log/mylogs/ThisAppsLog.log and add a recipe to the logrotate configuration to manage the logs it outputs. FWIW ReportError is a fairly direct reimplementation of a very similar library module I wrote for C development, which got migrated to Java as soon as I found I needed it, along with an improved replacement for C's getopt() command line parser. The circular buffer was inspired by a mainframe OS (ICL's George 3) that I used to also support with my sysadmin's hat on. It used two circular buffers, both holding about 240 messages, but with one much finer grained that the other , so one captured what the OS as a whole was doing when it crashed and the other captured detail of what the chapter that crashed had been up to. That experience taught me that a straight snapshot-type crash dump often isn't a whole lot of use without a trail showing what recent events and activities preceded the crash. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org
