How do I Create a Log File?

Hi All
Been up for a while trying to figure this out with no luck.
I created an app that will uninstall a program and all of it's files.
example
try
                    do shell script "rm -rf /Applications/TestFakeApp"
          end try
          try
                    do shell script "rm -rf /Applications/TestFakeApp2"
          end try
          try
                    do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.FakeTestApp.plist"
          end try
          try
                    do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.FakeTestApp2.plist"
          end try
          try
                    do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/FakeTestApp*"
          end try
          try
                    do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Application\\ Support/FakeTestApp"
          end try
there are alot more paths to remove but this is just a few for example
I want to be able to create a log.txt file on the desktop to show what has been removed and or what could not be removed.
I then tried by creating a text document by using
do shell script "touch ~/Desktop/test.txt"
tell application "Finder"
          open file ((path to desktop folder as text) & "test.txt") using ((path to applications folder as text) & "TextEdit.app")
end tell
but I don't know what to do next.
1. Have it check for each file to see if it was deleted or not
2. add it into the test.txt file
3. save the file once done
Any help would be appriciated.

Your version of it was simpler for me to understand..
Thank you
But having 1 issue with it.
I added some lines of non existing files to test if it did not delete them.
the log file showed they were deleted, but the files were never there to begin with.
I also added a return after each one write section so in the log file they would not be on the same line.
try
  do shell script "sudo -v" password "" with administrator privileges
end try
do shell script "touch ~/Desktop/my.txt"
delay 2
set myLog to open for access file ((path to desktop as text) & "my.txt") with write permission
set eof myLog to 0 -- reset the file contents... eliminate this line if you want to append to an existing log
delay 2
write "this is a test" & return to myLog
delay 1
write "Trying to delete Test
" to myLog
delay 1
try
  do shell script "rm -rf /Test" with administrator privileges
          write "Deleted Test
          " to myLog -- this will only execute if the above line doesn't trigger an error
on error
          write "Error deleting Test
          " to myLog
end try
delay 1
write "Trying to delete test2
" to myLog
try
  do shell script "rm -rf /test2" with administrator privileges
          write "Deleted Test2
          " to myLog -- this will only execute if the above line doesn't trigger an error
on error
          write "Error deleting test2
          " to myLog
end try
delay 1
write "Trying to delete test3
" to myLog
try
          do shell script "rm -rf /test3*
          " with administrator privileges
  write "Deleted Test2" to myLog -- this will only execute if the above line doesn't trigger an error
on error
          write "Error deleting test3
          " to myLog
end try
delay 1
write "Trying to delete test4
" to myLog
try
  do shell script "rm -rf /test4" with administrator privileges
          write "Deleted Test4
          " to myLog -- this will only execute if the above line doesn't trigger an error
on error
          write "Error deleting test4
          " to myLog

  • How to create different log files for each of web applications deployed in OC4J

    Hi All,

    Hi Avi,
    First of all I have given a first reading to log4j and I think there will some more easy way of logging debugging messages than log4j (If you could provide me a detailed explanation of a servlet,jsp,java bean that uses log4j and how to use log4j then it will be very helpful for me). The other easy ways (if I am not using log4j) to my problem i.e creating different log files for each of web applications deployed in oc4j are
    I have created multiple instances of OC4J that are configured to run on different ports and so on each instance I have deployed a single web application . And I started the 2 oc4j instances by transferring thier error/log messages to a file. And the other way is ..
    I have download from jakarta site a package called servhelper . This servhelper is a thread that is started in a startup servlet and stopped in the destroy method of that startup servlet. So this thread will automatically capture all the system.out.println's and will print those to a file. I believe that this thread program is synchronized. So in this method I need not run multiple instances of OC4J instead each deployed web application on single instance of oc4j uses the same thread program (ofcourse a copy of thread program is put in each of the deployed web applications directories) to log messages on to different log files.
    Can you comment on my above 2 approached to logging debugging messages and a compartive explanation to LOG4J and how to use LOG4J using a simple servlet, simple jsp is appreciated ...

  • How can I create an Excel file?

    When you are talking about subfiles, are you talking like Package contents of an application?
    Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities can give a command line grasp of all your files using the du command.
    Type
    man du
    when entering the terminal, followed by the enter key.
    Note, by default the terminal opens at the Home folder.   To navigate outside the Home folder enter "/Volumes/name of mounted drive/folder/subfolder" as your path.  If there are spaces in the name, putting quotes around the whole path can help.    If you end your du command with a > name.txt a text file with the name name.txt will be plugged into your Home directory.  That you can open with Excel and parse by /es thus giving you everything in Excel.

  • How do i create one source file that feeds two users on the same pro book?

    how do i create one source file/folder of photos that feeds two users on the same pro book?

    Well you can do exactly the same with a folder of photos, just put in the Users/Shared folder.
    Iphoto is a mite more complex than this. It's a database and so there's a bit more involved.
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
