On a *nix platform, try tail -f <logfile>. It'll show you in a "live"
fashion what new information is being generated to the logfile. Unless,
of course, your script is generating hundreds of lines of text per
run... Then, I'd suggest quieting your output a bit and testing
section-by-section.

And, instead of deleting the log, empty it with >error_log.
