The manual newline is necessary unless you want whatever is emitted after
that to appear at the end of the same line. Those of us who use such
logging frequently (say, to emit "reasons" for how a filter acted), define
a newline variable:
NL="
"
Then use that:
LOG="Some text$NL"
Is there something like "write to log". I know I can setup a rule that
catches all then do something like LOG="This is waht I want to say, with a
$MATCH perhaps" sort of thing, but I was hopping there was a direct log
writing tool.
You can write to the log outside of a rule. Perhaps you should *TRY*
it? Set up a sandbox testing environ so you can easily try "what if"
scenarios.
