How to Create a Log File on the Diagnostic Partition

All the scripts that are loadable with the hardware diagnostics utility are predefined, with logging to the diagnostic partition enabled. The names of log files correspond to the name of the script. For example, a script named noinput.tst creates a log file named noinput.jrl.

The following procedure shows an example of how to create and access a log file on the diagnostic partition for the noinput.tst script.
