Aucbvax.5866 fa.info-vax utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!info-vax Wed Jan 20 01:03:20 1982 VAX lists and printing of batch log files >From ROODE@SRI-KL Wed Jan 20 00:59:19 1982 I am happy that DEC VMS developers are adding a way for a user to inhibit printing or deletion of batch log files on job completion, but I wonder who at DEC I could implore to select a reasonable default. Except for people who use card readers (are there any?), I can't see any grounds for the default being to print the logfile before the user has a chance to examine it at his terminal. What inefficiency to add one more redefinition of a command that gets performed each time a user logs in.

As for the purposes of the list, I thought the problem was solved. Whoever is willing to undertake the work can volunteer to maintain the list referring to VAX hardware only, but no one has stepped forward. -------
