Operating Systems OS X (Apple) How can I direct messages from mac console.app to a log file? Post 303043906 by dallas88 on Monday 10th of February 2020 07:17:16 PM

This might not the best method but I used the Log show command to access the unified logs.
And then directed this to a file. So I use this to monitor the camera status.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Detects the status of the Apple Camera (Facetime).
Camstatus=$(log show --last 15m | grep 'AppleCamIn::')
echo "$Camstatus" >>~/library/logs/camera.log


I found out I can also can also run this command to collect the log info.
sudo log collect --output ~/Documents/logcoll.logarchive --start '2020-02-10'

I saw this post from @jollyRoger on the command to open the .logarchive formatted file.

NAME
Mulog - Chat Logging Script for Museekd DESCRIPTION
Mulog is command-line Python script that connects to museekd(1) and saves chat messages into log files. Under the Log Directory, it creates room & private subdirectories and a syslog file. If it loses connection with museekd, it will automatically exit. Setting the interface and password on the command-line is a security risk. Since interface and password settings are saved to the config file when set, you should set them, exit mulog, and restart mulog without the options on the commandline..LP Before running, you will need a working museekd(1) and need to know your museekd interface and interface password. Configure those with musetup(1). SYNOPSIS
mulog [-c <config-filename> ] [--config <config-filename>] [-i <host:port | /socket.path>] [--interface <host:port | /socket.path> [-p <interface-password>] [--password <inteface-password>] [-l <directory>] [--log <directory>] [-v] [--version] [-h] [--help] OPTIONS
Mulog accepts the following options: -c <filename>, --config <filename> Use a different config file. -l <directory>, --log <directory> Use a different chat log directory. -i, --interface <host:port | /socket.path> Choose a different interface (saved to config file) -p, --password <interface-password> Choose a different password (saved to config file) -v, --version Display Version and exit. -h, --help Display Help and exit. EXAMPLE
To run this program the standard way type: mulog Alternativly you use a different config file with: mulog --config mulog.config To set the interface password: mulog --password 1234567890 FILES
~/.museekd/mulog.config The default location for the mulog config file. ~/.museekd/logs/ The default log directory. ~/.museekd/logs/syslog The museekd error/connection log file. ~/.museekd/logs/room/ The directory where chat room logs are stored. ~/.museekd/logs/private/ The directory where private chat logs are stored.
