Description:
BitRock log is not very useful (nearly empty) if the agent installation is started in unattended mode.

So any type of debugging and/or checking, what the installer really did is very difficult.

How to repeat:
- check /tmp/bitrock_installer.log after installing the agent in unattended mode, e.g using this commands:

OS=rhas3-ia64
VERS=0.6.26
MYSQLHOST=win2003a-x86
MYSQLPORT=3000
MERLINHOST=net-qa2
MERLINPPORT=8080
$MERLINHOST:$MERLINPPORT
/users/schilders/public_html/official_builds/rhel4/bitrock_agents/mysqlserviceagent-$VERS-$OS-installer.bin --debugtrace /users/csegieth/mysql/network/agent/$VERS/$HOST/$OS/install_debug.log --prefix /users/csegieth/mysql/network/agent/$VERS/$HOST/$OS --mysqlhost $MYSQLHOST --mysqlport $MYSQLPORT --mysqluser agent --mysqlpass mysql --merlinhost $MERLINHOST --merlinport $MERLINPPORT --merlinuser agent --merlinpass mysql --merlinservername "$HOST ($OS) - $MYSQLHOST" --loglevel debug  --mode unattended

Suggested fix:
write full log also in unattended mode, like the log seen when running the UI install on Windows.

updated starting with version 7.3

solved with 0.7.4 (but I still think that there could be 'more' in the log, e.g. about the values entered for the configuration, but this is an other issue)
