Justin Azoff commented on BIT-1489:
-----------------------------------

I had one more thought.. where broctl now does:

{code}
+Unable to archive one or more logs in directory:
+${tmp}
+Any error messages are in the post-terminate.out file in that directory.
{code}

Is there any reason why it can't just cat the post-terminate.out file and include it in the email?

> Branch topic/dnthayer/ticket1396 in the broctl repo was originally intended
> to address BIT-1396 (logs disappearing on broctl restart).  Most of the commits
> in this branch are aimed at making it easier to diagnose such problems
> in the future.  The most user-visible changes are:
> 1) post-terminate will now send an email if it fails to archive any logs,
> 2) post-terminate will now re-try to archive logs that previously failed to be archived,
> 3) improvements to some error messages,
> 4) better sanity checking of config values,
> 5) significant improvements to the broctl README
