Examples
The following examples demonstrate the INFO command:
MONITOR
The MONITOR command monitors the specified text log file and displays updates to
the file as they occur. If you do not specify log-filename, the file specified by the
SET log-filename command is monitored.
log-filename
specifies a valid file name. The file type of the log-filename can be entry,
relative, or unstructured.
Considerations
•
This command uses both sequential block buffering and control 27 to minimize the
number of messages required to monitor a log file. Control 27 is an operation that
a program can perform against a disk file. The operation notifies the program when
any entity performs a write operation to the disk file. Rather than polling the disk
file to see if it changed, SeeView uses the control 27 operation for greater
efficiency.
•
The monitor command detects when a log file has been renamed and
automatically switches to a new log file if one exists.

For additional information, see the SET command.
