Error log on linux?

[codeswitch]

I'm using several functions of ImageMagick on my Linux-Server (shared hoster). Is there something like an error log, so that I can look after problems?

If not, can I maybe debug a command by passing a certain statement or something?

You can add debugging to the ImageMagick command line the -log and -debug options. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... ns.php#log and http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... .php#debug. You can send the debugging output to a file. See log.xml.

Constructs like

Code: Select all

convert bad.junk out.png 2>error.log

may also be useful

Thank you snibgo, putting "2>error.log" at the end is exactly what I needed!
