IC process log messages
The run_ic.pl script sends any output messages from the IC process to the
$KILOG/ic_<QMO>_YYYYMMDD_HHMM.log file, where:
<QMO> is the QMO number of the tester.
YYYYMMDD_HHMM is the date and time when the IC process was started.
The IC process by default only outputs DEBUG and ERROR messages. You can use the
KI_TRACE_LEVEL environment variable to define the minimum level of messages to display. Valid
values of this variable are: TRACE, DEBUG, and ERROR. After changing the environment variable, the
IC process must be restarted by executing $KIHOME/IC/bin/run_ic.pl.
