103 .. Effective logging
104 -----------------
105
106 .. A very useful suggestion sent in by Robert Kern follows:
107
108 .. I recently happened on a nifty way to keep tidy per-project log files. I
109 made a profile for my project (which is called "parkfield")::
110
111 include ipythonrc
112
113 # cancel earlier logfile invocation:
114
115 logfile ''
116
117 execute import time
118
119 execute __cmd = '/Users/kern/research/logfiles/parkfield-%s.log rotate'
120
121 execute __IP.magic_logstart(__cmd % time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
122
123 .. I also added a shell alias for convenience::
124
125 alias parkfield="ipython --pylab profile=parkfield"
126
127 .. Now I have a nice little directory with everything I ever type in,
128 organized by project and date.
