"View ARB log" shows the logfile of the current arb session.

The logfile contains any output from ARB itself and from some sub-processes, e.g.

diagnostic messages (e.g. 'trace' from ´ARB Command Interpreter (ACI)´)
errors not reported via GUI

"View server log" shows the logfile of all ptservers and nameservers started from the current arb session.

e.g. shows the detailed progress while building a ptserver

"View sysinfo" shows system information collected by arb about your system.

NOTES

The log will be displayed using the shell command 'less'.

Pressing Ctrl-C in the log, will allow to use

page-up / page-down to traverse through the log
'q' to quit and close the window
