Server Log File Path changes every release

I have a script that accesses the Indigo Server log file. With each new release of Indigo I have to change the variable that points to new path - which I forget to do. What is the best way to get around the need to edit my script? Example: filename = "/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.5/Logs/indigo_log.txt"
Thanks,
Bill

What kind of script is this? Shell? Embedded Python? If it's an embedded Python, this should work:

Code: Select all

import indigo

log = indigo.server.getInstallFolderPath() + "/Logs/indigo_log.txt"


Thanks for the advice and quick reply. It worked perfectly.

The option to set the data / sql path freely was added because someone had his sql setup in a completely different place.

I am thinking about setting it to the default and only if overwritten it is changed.
