Better Error Reporting of Errors in User/Common Code

[krkeegan]

Currently, if a user uses the "reload user code" command and there is an error in one of the user code files the user is only notified of the error in the console output. There is no option to enable logging of the error.

All of this is buried deep within the main mh perl file. Notably, the eval_user_code_load handles a lot of the error reporting to the console with a series of simple print commands.

Optionally sending these errors to a log seems like a good idea. This should probably be in addition to sending the errors to console.

As a side note, is anything other than a "Restart" ever sent to the error_log?

Marc,

It looks like you have Stdout and possible Stderr set to output to the
error.log in your startup script maybe?? Something like:

mhl 2>&1 >> data/logs/error.log

I otherwise can't find how this would be written.

I run
cd ~mh/bin; ./mh -tk 0

No special trickery, it just works for me.
