Zugg Software :: View topic - Moving Output Files Away From Default Folders

I am trying to accomplish two things.

1) I have a autologger set up, using an ATCONNECT alias to set up a #LOG command. However, I would like to move the output so that it dumps the text files in a specific folder instead of the zMud folder.

2) I would also like to move the settings file out of the zMud/mudname folder to another location. I don't really care about most of the settings, except the .MUD file. If the rest of the world folder moves too, I can tolerate that. One possible solution I've thought of is having a trigger that saves a copy of the .mud file in another directory on disconnect. Its not perfect, but works fine for my purposes. I don't know how to do this, however.

I do not, however, want to install the zMud folder into that directory, if possible, I want the minimum extra files besides the .log and .mud files.

Thank you in advance.

you should be able to write your logs to any directory, by adding/putting this in your #atconnect alias

#var logfile {C:\Folder\folder2\logs\Dated logs\%time( "yyyy-mm-dd").txt}
#log @logfile

Where obviously you can put your own directory names.

You can use the #LAUNCH command to preform the copy. Simply have it run your system's command processor (command.com or cmd.exe) with the necessary parameter to preform the copy, something like "/c copy *.mud destination /s".

Ok, I fiddled around, here's what I'm using in my atconnect alias:
