PtLog - Traces Protection Server operations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The F<PtLog> file records a trace of Protection Server (B<ptserver> process)
|
||
|
|
operations on the local machine and describes any error conditions it
|
||
|
|
encounters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the F<PtLog> file does not already exist in the F</usr/afs/logs> directory
|
||
|
|
when the Protection Server starts, the server process creates it and writes
|
||
|
|
initial start-up messages to it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the
|
||
|
|
F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file can use the B<bos getlog> command to display
|
||
|
|
its contents. Alternatively, log onto the server machine and use a text
|
||
|
|
editor or a file display command such as the UNIX B<cat> command. By
|
||
|
|
default, the mode bits on the F<PtLog> file grant the required C<r> (read)
|
||
|
|
permission to all users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Protection Server records operations only as it completes them, and cannot
|
||
|
|
recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are useful
|
||
|
|
for administrative evaluation of process failures and other problems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Protection Server can record messages at several levels of detail. By default, it
|
||
|
|
records only very rudimentary messages. Specify the Protection Server B<-d> <I<debug level>> command
|
||
|
|
line option to set the initial logging level when the Protection Server is started.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To increase the level of detail logged by a running Protection Server, issue the following
|
||
|
|
command while logged onto the database server machine as the local superuser
|
||
|
|
C<root>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# kill -TSTP <ptserver_pid>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where <ptserver_pid> is the process ID of the vlserver process, as
|
||
|
|
reported in the output from the standard UNIX B<ps> command. To increase
|
||
|
|
to the second and third levels of detail, repeat the command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To disable logging, issue the following command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# kill -HUP <ptserver_pid>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To decrease the level of logging, first completely disable it and then
|
||
|
|
issue the C<kill -TSTP> command as many times as necessary to reach the
|
||
|
|
desired level.
