Question
how to open rescue simulation robocup log files in linux ubuntu?
Answer
I am not familiar with the application.
(googled it on the the web... looks interesting...)
Most apps have a configuration file that specifies where to log information...
First, I'd look in /etc/robo* for a configuration file.
Most apps log things in /var/log.
Most logs (that have not been rotated) can be viewed with "less" or "vi".
A few, like utmp/wtmp, have to be viewed with special programs.
Any app that doesn't use /var/log, usually uses a sub-folder to one of the installation folders (usually there are 2 - one for programs, one for data)
Use the following to try and find the locations it might be near by finding all filenames that contain the string "robo":
find / -print | grep robo
Once you find the logs, use "less" to see if they contain text or binary data...
If they contain binary data, get on the robot rescue simulator mailing list that I saw on the website and post your question there so the developers can guide you.
Enjoy!
Larry
