Not much of a hint, but if you have the Apple Developer tools installed in Tiger (included on your installation DVD), a new application for 10.4 is CrashReporterPrefs, located in /Developer -> Applications -> Utilities.
When you run this application, it presents you with a dialog box for three different types of crash reporting:
- Basic -- Basic mode is the default setting for Mac OS X 10.4 Client. The CrashReporter dialog box is displayed whenever an application unexpectedly quits.
- Developer -- Developer mode provides additional debugging information in the "Unexpectedly Quit" dialog. The dialog is displayed for crashes of system processes and background applications as well as for standard applications.
- Server -- Server mode is the default setting on Mac OS X 10.4 Server. Enabling this mode on Client allows for unattended operation while the user is logged in. It will disable the CrashReporter dialog box and write to ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter and/or /Library/Logs/CrashReporter. This mode is highly useful for those of us that run many beta softwares that crash frequently or those that rarely submit crash reports.
