Template for creating verbose logs of script executions

Insert your script inside this template to create an historical log of every execution

This script is an empty template for creating verbose logs for each execution of a script. It is aimed at scripts that proces large amounts of data and where there is a need to track back through data processing history especially when working collaboratively on data or where data processing transparrency is required e.g. for publication supplementary material according to FAIR data principles.

The template logs a script execution comment, the machine the script was run on, the path to the executed script, which code sections were activated at the time of executions, it includes place holders for different code sections, internal functions, the possibilty to modify the path and finishes by tidying up (closing log file and restoring altered MATLAB paths) including script timings. Examples of time and date stamped fprintf log file entries are included
