UNIX
export AS_LOGFILE=/glassfishv3/glassfish/cli.log
Windows:
set AS_LOGFILE=c:\glassfishv3\glassfish\cli.log
=====================================
You can set and forget the environmental variable and every cli comand
that is ever run will be logged into the file you specify. One line per
command. I put the file right inside an installation so it
automatically goes away whenever I reinstall.
I decided to send out this tip because I was just asked "Does QL
exercise create-domain thoroughly?" Beats me, but I had my answer in a
jiffy by looking at cli.log which revealed that QL does not run
create-domain at all.
Typical output (a tiny portion of calls from QL)
