# Platform-Specific Details: Standard Output

## UNIX

Standard output for the HotJava browser is redirected to the file `~/.hotjava/weblog`. You can continuously view this file using the following command:

        tail -f ~/.hotjava/weblog

Alternatively, you can use the Java interpreter directly to execute the HotJava browser (instead of going through the `hotjava` shell script). Standard output will appear in the window where you invoke the interpreter. To do this, enter the following command:

        java browser.hotjava

## DOS Shell (Windows NT)

To continuously view standard output, use the Java interpreter directly to execute the HotJava browser. Standard output will appear in the window where you invoke the interpreter. To do this, enter the following command:

        java browser.hotjava
