Wouldn't it have been easier to have simply looked at the logfile?  I mean, you *do* know that Hercules supports the creation of a logfile, yes?  When you start Hercules, simply redirect its output to a text file, e.g:


   hercules -f "my-config-file.cnf" > "my-log-file.txt"


The character ">" tells the operating system to redirect all standard output (stdout) to the file "my-log-file.txt".  Hercules will still display messages on the screen like normal (because it writes its screen messages to stderr, not stdout, which should still point to the screen), but in addition to seeing your Hercules messages on the screen (panel), Hercules also writes its messages to stdout too (which as just explained, will end up being written to your specified logfile).

Then to see the full text of any message, simply look at your logfile (i.e. edit it using notepad or some other program, etc).

I thought everyone knew that, but I guess not.
