Google "ruby logger" and you get right to the RDoc documentation -
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdo...doc/index.html

Access the "logger" class and you'll get some very good documentation.

Re: errors - the standard error stream goes to STDERR, a constant ruby
automatically creates. Normally, this goes to STDOUT - the standard
output stream, assigned to your screen, but you can reassign it:

$stderr = File.new( 'myerrs.txt','w' )

Hope this helps...

More on finding documentation -

I can't help you if you're on a Winxxxx system, but on my Kubuntu Linux
OS I can find useful documentation for the "logger" standard library
member (and others) by issuing at my CLI -

which logger

I get a pile of locations on the filesys where "logger" appears. Many
are irrelevant, but this one is not:

/usr/share/doc/ruby1.8-examples/examples/logger

There I find 3 ruby code files illustrating library use. Nice.

(I didn't know about this until I set out to find an answer to your
question, so thanks to you for that.)
