ADIC FileServ Version 4.0 600716 Rev A manual Set Up FileServ, Logging

Administrative Tasks

The log_monitor script is a alternative to newfslog for log maintenance. This script can be run as needed to refresh log files, or called from cron to monitor the logs and prevent them from filling up the $FS_HOME file system. Log cleaning will only be triggered when the command line parameters are met.

The system variables $FS_HOME, $LOG_PATH, and

$NONARCH_LOG_PATH must be defined before the script will run.

$LOGPATH is the path to the archival directory where old log files (files that should not be stored in an archival directory) will be stored. Type log_monitor without parameters to obtain information on the parameter options. If log_monitor returns “Command not found” make sure that the path on line one is correct for the Perl processor, and change as necessary. Information on past log_monitor activity can be found in $NONARCH_LOG_PATH/log_monitor.log.
