Log File Options

  • time of event;
  • identifier of workstation that caused this event;
  • name of user that caused this event on the workstation;
  • description of event;
  • path of program (can be empty);
  • program's execution time (can be empty).

    Description of event Format in log file
    start of logging RunIt! start
    program has been tracked by RunIt! Tracked,"<exe-file path>"
