Yes, you use the with-TYPE-log configure option. This will set up
start_orcallator correctly with all the proper environmental and
command line options to run lib/orcallator.se. While you can run
`se lib/orcallator.se' by hand, it will not watch everything you
want and will not save the data files onto disk, rather output the
data to your tty. So you should run start_orcallator instead.
