odbedit msg does not write to midas.log

[dd1]

the odbedit msg command no longer writes to midas.log. if running interactively, cm_msg() "facility" is unconditionally set to "chat". The odbedit help says this:

msg [type] [name] <msg> - send message to midas log (from command line via -c "msg ...")

and it no longer works as advertised - messages are written to chat.log, not midas.log. K.O.

Indeed the "msg" command was kind of tailored towards chat messages, which is not obsolete, since we have a separate "chat" command. I reworked the command in odbedit, so now the syntax is

msg <facility> <type> <name> <message>

where <facility> can be "midas", "chat", ...
and <type> must be "error", "info", "debug", "user", "log", "talk" or "call".

If this works for you, please close the issue.
