4.1.4. Switch Log
This command causes the STM logger to open a new current log file. It may be
desirable to issue this command occasionally in order to keep individual log files
from becoming larger than what is desirable. The new log file that is created by
the logger process will be named according to the standard naming convention
with the number incremented by one. Thus, if the current log file is called
log5.raw.cur, the new one will be called log6.raw.cur and the old one will be
renamed to log5.raw to signify that it is no longer current.
This command is provided as a convenience to the user. The user can
accomplish a switch log manually by simply renaming the current log file. When
the logger process notices that there is no logn.raw.cur file present, it will create
a new one. Thus, to accomplish the same thing as the above Switch Log
example, the user could have issued the system command "mv log5.raw.cur
log5.raw".

4.1.6. Print
