Logging to syslog is pretty nice, but doesn't let the user easily read it back without special rights. Instead, rely on default desktop logging (sadly to ~/.xsession-errors, atm), and allows to redefine logging to a file specified by SPICE_XPI_CLIENT_LOG. People who prefer keeping the old spicec ~/.spicec/spicec.log file can set this variable in their enviroment. --- data/spice-xpi-client-remote-viewer | 13 +++++++++---- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/data/spice-xpi-client-remote-viewer b/data/spice-xpi-client-remote-viewer index 3109c66..03e72d0 100644 --- a/data/spice-xpi-client-remote-viewer +++ b/data/spice-xpi-client-remote-viewer @@ -1,6 +1,11 @@ #!/bin/sh -logger -t spice "starting remote-viewer --spice-controller $@..." -env | logger -t spice -exec remote-viewer --spice-controller "$@" 2>&1 | logger -t spice -logger -t spice "remote-viewer execution failed" +if [ x"$SPICE_XPI_CLIENT_LOG" != x ] ; then + exec 2>&1 + exec >> "$SPICE_XPI_CLIENT_LOG" +fi + +echo "starting remote-viewer --spice-controller $@..." +env | grep -i spice +exec remote-viewer --spice-controller "$@" +echo "remote-viewer execution failed" -- 1.7.10
