tinylog.sh ============ 2011-09-13, HF tinylog.sh tries to be a small logging & debugging library for Bash (actually any POSIX-conforming shell [read dash]) that requires exceedingly little mental effort to use in everyday scripting. Being almost as minimal as it can get away with, it is also well-nigh non-configurable. So, WARNING: Right now, this is very much proof-of-concept material! Usage ------- Just say . ${0%/*}/tinylog.sh # or `dirname $0`/tinylog.sh :) or even . tinylog.sh # if tinylog's in your $PATH. and any output (stdout & stderr) will be written to a log file in $TMPDIR. If you want a permanent logfile, just say so: logfile="$(dirname $0)/my.log" # or something like it. . ${0%/*}/tinylog.sh Then, in your script, use debug "A message. Only displayed when run interactively." error "Severe message. Goes to syslog in addition to stdout and the log." warn "Same as error, lower panic level." printlog # Dump log contents to stdout (not the redirected one). On the other hand, you'll have to keep in mind that `echo`s will leave traces only in the log file. Except, of course, if you use echo "Hello" >&$stdout That's it. If you want anything else, go fork yourself (a copy of this repo)! Further notice --------------------- All files GPLv3-licensed and "Copyright 2011, Hagen Fuchs" (if you're into this sort of thing [and if so, don't - for the love of God! - ever contact me {except, of course, you know how I can GPL-protect my code without those ludicrous disclaimers everywhere}]). See COPYING if you want a peek at the GPL. I'll add a CREDITS and more flesh if anyone finds this helpful.
