Hello Stefan,

thank you for your reply. Unfortunatelly i don't talk about this 
logfile, but about the logfile which is written by the 
wpkg-client-service according to its own status.

Here is a screenshot where you can set the path:

and the logfile contains something like that:

############

2012-01-04 15:04:56 -> ServiceStart->SERVICE_RUNNING
