asterisk users - Mar 2007 - How to log VERBOSE statement to a file?

I would like to log a verbose statement in my 900/976 extens to a 
special file called 'attacks'.

These are not standard messages like debug, notice, warning, error, 
vebose or dtmf that could be logged to /var/log/asterisk/messages.

Does the 'verbose' in VERBOSE commands have anything to do with the 
'verbose' in error messages?


I tried >> redirection of a VERBOSE statement - did not work.

Replying to myself.  By experiment I found that you could include 
verbose on the on the messages line in logger.conf.

In my case, I simply added a line
verbose=/var/log/asterisk/verbose

In the case of serious breeches I can
grep attack: verbose
