Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

I have a rather odd problem with the logfile.  It seems that I cannot
change where the logfile goes, even if I change the name in resource.def.

Stranger still, if I move (mv) the file to a different directory, EPICS
continues to write to that file, instead of creating a new one in the old
directory.  I do not understand this behavior.
