I hate writing and debugging the same or very similar code for 10 different scripts. Here's a routine that gives flexible execution tracing, error logging and reports interactively or to a log file. Read on for Version 1.3 Updates and Fixes

Feature highlights:

reports information interactively or to a log file

Uses static or randomly generated log names

Can be used for informational messages, warnings and error conditions

easily added to any existing or new script

allows identification of where in the code the error or trace event occured

Version 1.3 Updates:

Seperate trace levels for logging and screen display, allows verbose logging to file with only error logging to screen.
Reads tracelevels from environment variables if they exist
A checkerror routine that integrates with traceerrorlog
Traceargs routine for logging script arguments that integrates with ultimateparseargsargument processing (IF PRESENT)
Set trace levels on script command line if using ultimateparseargs argument processing (IF PRESENT)
