A Summary of Commands

fixLogFile

${LOGROOT}/data is examined to see if it is a compressed logging file. If it is not, it is ignored. If it is, it is converted.

After the files are converted, the time stamps are reapplied so they have the same date after conversion as they did before the conversion.

Caveats

The fixLogFile command only takes care of changes in classes of logging messages. For example, if the class PERM was added, removed, or moved, fixLogFile could correctly deal with the changes to the logging files. The fixLogFile command does not deal with reorganizations or changes of messages within a class. Do not change the order of appearance messages or the arguments to a logging message if you expect to be able to expand the data in the future or save the previous textLogFmt file for the expansions.

If the conversion takes place while the logdaemon process is running, be sure to either stop and restart logdaemon or reinitialize it using the reinitLog command.
