14. Witty Pi Log Files
In the directory that you install your Witty Pi software, you can find two log files: schedule.log and
wittyPi.log. If you need our help for solving a problem, please kindly put the log files in email
attachment too. This will help us to help you better.
The “schedule.log” file contains the history of schedule script executions. In this log file you can see
how the next shutdown and startup were scheduled. If you saw unexpected schedule script behavior,
this log should be the first file to check.
The “wittyPi.log” file records the history of all Witty Pi activities. If you think your Witty Pi doesn’t
behave correctly, this log file might provide more information for troubleshooting.
The time-stamp in the log file is always the system time, instead of the RTC time. During the
booting, the first log written by Witty Pi’s software is “Witty Pi daemon (vX.XX) is started.”, but its
time-stamp is not shown. You will see the correct time after the RTC time has been written to the
system. For example:
The correct time-stamp firstly appears in the line with text “Done :-)”, so you know this startup
happened at 14:05.
When the booting is done, the last log written by Witty Pi software is “Pending for incoming shutdown
command…”.
Again, if you need our help for solving a problem, please kindly put the log files in email attachment
too. In the majority of cases, they will help us a lot to help you better.
