note - Function

Send a message to the logger or terminal

Synopsis
note(..., priority, origin, time, postcli)

include "note.g"

Synopsis
edit(..., priority='NORMAL', origin='Glish', time='')(..., priority, origin, time, postcli)

Description
Use note to send a message to the logger if AIPS++is running, otherwise it sends it to the screen. This is useful if you are writing Glish functions that should function in AIPS++and non-AIPS++environments. In particular, sending a message doesn't start AIPS++, but if AIPS++is already started then the message is logged.

The priority defaults to NORMAL and the origin to Glish, however these can be overridden if desired.
