Hi Brian, It's possible if you make edits to bufr_dump.c, and possibly Get_BUFR_Log_File.c. In B_Init.c, around line 99 you see where the file is determined: sprintf(log_file, "%s/bufr_log.%d", default_log_dir, (int) getpid() ); or sprintf(log_file, "bufr_log.%d", (int) getpid() ); That's where the path and file name are set, and where you can make edits and then re-build. -Michael James Unidata > Is there any way to control where your log file is written when running the > bufr_dump command? > > > > -- > Brian P.
