The log file output as a nice looking log. Note however, that neither errors nor startup events are displayed in the event log. This means developers should always look in the plain log file.

are in a module. This button will allow developers to check the new code of

their modules without restarting Caudium. You should also know that very

few options in some modules will not be activated unless you reload the
|
|
module. So always reload a module when you think an option has not been

|
read by Caudium.
