Managing the AMASS File System

Messages Generated by AMASS

AMASS generates the following types of messages:

•Operator Interactive Messages

•Technical Support Messages

•Customer-specific Messages

These messages types are described below.

Operator Interactive Messages

Because most AMASS commands and AMASS utilities are operator interactive, they use standard in (stdin) and standard error (stderr). Lists are written to standard out (stdout), which you can redirect to either a file or a printer.

Technical Support Messages

Technical support-specific AMASS message appear under the /usr/amass/logs/tac directory. These messages are neither intended for customers nor are they documented for customers.

Customer-specific Messages

Customer-specific AMASS daemon, database, kernel, and operation messages appear in the /usr/amass/logs/parms file and are sent to the system log file for viewing by the AMASS system administrator. (They are sent to the /usr/amass/logs/tac file as well.)
