A different name can be chosen with the -l option. It contains all relevant information about what PPSS is doing. _Item log file_ + When an item is processed, any output that is generated is logged within its individual log file. This logfile resides within the directory job_log. This directory is created from where PPSS is executed. If you tailor your command the right way, or create a (small) script, it is very easy to determine which items have not been processed correctly. A simple grep on 'error' might already give a clue. *Important:* If a log file exists for an item, and PPSS is run again, that item will be skipped. This allows you to interrupt PPSS and continue where you left off. If you want to process all items again, just remove the job_log directory. - -
