<section role="h2" xml:id="Java-Broker-Getting-Started-Logging">
<title>Log file</title>
<para>The Broker writes a log file to record both details of its normal operation and any exceptional
conditions. By default the log file is written within the log subdirectory beneath the work directory
- <computeroutput>$QPID_WORK/log/qpid.log</computeroutput> (UNIX) and
<computeroutput>%QPID_WORK%\log\qpid.log</computeroutput> (Windows).</para>
<para>For details of how to control the logging, see <xref linkend="Java-Broker-Runtime-Logging"/></para>

<section role="h2" xml:id="Java-Broker-Getting-Started-CommandLine">
<title>Using the command line</title>
<para>The Broker understands a number of command line options which may be used to customise the configuration.</para>
<para>
For additional details about the broker configuration and related command line arguments see
