Custom Log Data

[darkoth]

I'm curious how I would go about creating a log that does this:

I have the Log file name as: %H.log which is the hostname. I'm happy with that.

I have it start a log upon connect and append to the file. That way if I ever need to go back and see what I did for the host, I simply bring up the file. Now in order for me to see what and when it was I am using custom log data

Upon Connect: ============================================= NEW SESSION ON %M/%D @ %h:%m ===================================================

Upon Disconnect: ============================================= SESSION END ON %M/%D @ %h:%m ===================================================


However it kind of jumbles up the log. I am wondering how to make the Upon Connect and Disconnect lines span more than 1 line and also enter a carriage return.

So I'd see something like this:

==============================================================================================================================
============================================= NEW SESSION ON 09/10 @ 09:31 ===================================================
==============================================================================================================================

==============================================================================================================================
============================================= SESSION END ON 09/10 @ 09:31 ===================================================
==============================================================================================================================

So there is a carriage return right after the first custom log stuff is sent and then again before the session end lines and after to break it up some.
