Hi list,
Howto capture stdout + stderr from jobs invoked with rake?
I run rake from cron. I have a
def log(msg)
str = Time.now.to_s + ": " + msg + "\n"
file = $settings['logfile']
File.open(file, 'a+') {|f| f.write str }
end
it only tells where it went wrong, but not what went wrong.
any ideas how to do better logging with the following code?
