Logging

Logging can become as complicated as your imagination permits in Python. There are modules in the standard library that cater for all scenarios I have encountered and probably many more I have not.

The documentation has extensive sections on logging. The key materials (in rough order of reading) being:

	param( [ScriptBlock] $scriptBlock )
	<#
	.SYNOPSIS
	Impersonates a user and executes a script block as that user. This is an interactive script
	and a window will open in order to securely capture credentials.
	.EXAMPLE
	Use-Impersonation.ps1 {Get-ChildItem 'C:\' \| Foreach { Write-Host $_.Name }}
	This writes the contents of 'C:\' impersonating the user that is entered.
	#>

	# /etc/profile.d/bash_history.sh
	# Save 5,000 lines of history in memory
	HISTSIZE=10000
	# Save 2,000,000 lines of history to disk (will have to grep ~/.bash_history for full listing)
	HISTFILESIZE=2000000
	# Append to history instead of overwrite
	shopt -s histappend
	# Ignore redundant or space commands
	HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
	# Ignore more

	#!/usr/bin/bash
	which ansible >/dev/null 2>&1
	if [ $? -ne 0 ];
	then
	echo "Installing Ansible..."
	sleep 5
	pushd .
	cd ~
	pacman -S libyaml-devel python2 tar libffi libffi-devel gcc pkg-config make openssl-devel openssh libcrypt-devel --noconfirm --needed
	curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

	output = Path.cwd() / Path(__file__).with_suffix(".pdf").name
	doc = SimpleDocTemplate(str(output))
