mobilink console & windows service

Using ASA/mobilink 9.0.2.3137

Know that one can create a windows service for mobilink. If
one is using the -o option on the dbmlsrv9 then how can one
see what were the console output ?

One way is to open the log file but that can get abusive as
the file grows in size. Read about the -os option way it
creates new files as it goes along.

Thought of using mobilink monitor but that does not show
much details about the errors.

I guess in short the question what is the best way to get to
the console if the mobilink is running as a service.

Thanks

There are a number of utilities that you can use to "tail" the end of a
growing file. Try a Google search for "win32 tail.exe" and you'll find
some ports of the (fantastically powerful, yet simple) GNU tools.

Of course, if you use a Unix-like shell (e.g. Cygwin) you probably
already have a "tail" command handy.

Hope this helps,
