[erlang-questions] error_logger

[Siri Hansen]

>From sasl user guide:

"If the report browser is used off-line, the reports can be copied to
another directory which is specified when starting the browser. If no such
directory is specified, the browser reads reports from the SASL
error_logger_mf_dir."

I.e. start rb like this:

> rb:start([{report_dir,"/tmp/error_logs"}]).
