Message

SYNOPSIS

[-n] [-i] message

DESCRIPTION

This configuration directive displays a specified message on the console and in the Interchange log.

If the "option" -n is present, Interchange strips leading and trailing whitespace before display. If -i is present and Interchange is running in the foreground (that is, without detaching from the controlling terminal), then the message is only output to the console, avoiding the log.

DIRECTIVE TYPE AND DEFAULT VALUE

Global directive,
Catalog directive

EXAMPLES

Example: Specifying Message
