I'm wondering:  where are the lines that sometimes appear between
the dates in the batchlog file generated, and where does the data
come from?  Lines like:

Tue Apr 10 06:45:03 EDT 1990
b-tech  backlog 355 (queue full, no recent movement)
Tue Apr 10 06:45:06 EDT 1990

 ... or ...

Tue Apr 10 21:45:04 EDT 1990
b-tech  backlog 282 (batches flowing)
Tue Apr 10 21:48:01 EDT 1990

Does the lack of such a line between dates indicate that all's well, then?
Thanks for the information...
