Where are the logs?

Hello everyone,
I'm testing XSI in a closed system (no internet, no SMTP server).
Where are the log files XSI generates?
As I don't/can't get an emailed update, where do I check to see if the backup completed?

Thank you,

Ed

Thanks for getting back to me. I looked for the file, and can't see it. Is it somewhere else on my system?

The logs are created only if the job is launched within xsi-cron, otherwise the log goes to standard output

Ah, that's what I thought. Fair enough. Next time I'll leave the Putty session open!
