Aucbvax.5554 fa.info-vax utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!info-vax Sat Dec 26 19:43:39 1981 printing of batch log files >From ROODE@SRI-KL Sat Dec 26 19:31:56 1981 We have been looking for this too. It seems to me that DEC is serving an antiquated model of batch processing when they assume eople will want the log printed and deleted by default. We didn't even find the rather clever hack of using non existaent device, but redirected it to a different file instead. The problem is that any such action has effects on users' perfectly legitimate desires to print a file explicitly within their control files. -------
