Urgent Console Help

[G99]

I just deleted the console.log file by mistake in the app. Can I restore this?
Please help asap.
Thanks in advance

What app? How did you delete it? Did you already empty the trash?
Weee, look at me go.

I don't think that this is important.
You were using the Console App, clicked logs, and then deleted the Console.log. Or am I wrong?

It should rebuild it's self. If you clicked Clear Log you just deleted the entries that were logged, and nothing bad should happen. Unless your working with an AppleCare tech. They may require those logs, but I can't see why.

If you were using the Terminal, did you use the rm command, and what permissions were you using?

 

[Unorthodox]

Oh.... That console.
It should rebuild it's self.

Lacero, what happened to your Avatar and rank? (Perhaps your still rank, but Apple still hasn't released the smell component of OSX.) Perhaps I have you confused with somebody else, but I don't think so.

Look at the username again.

Edit: You'll find a nice discussion/interrogation here.

Thanks, though is the "new" Lacero an editor also?

I used to tell people "I'll be on the computer." now I say "I'll be defending my honor."

Editor of what? Neither Lac**o is/was an "editor" of MR.

Also, G99, please don't multi-post new threads. 1 Thread should be enough.

Refrence to the other Lacero's profession.

Sorry.
I was panicking, and wanted an answer really quick

The log file is just a log file, anyway. A record of activity for your benefit. The system doesn't *need* it at all. It's there for you.
