Do not create new server log files when servers are restarted by default. External log rotation tools may be used to rotate the logs by renaming log files and then signaling server processes to reopen log files. Add the -transarc-logs option to each server to provide backward compatibility with the traditional Transarc-style logging. When -transarc-logs is given, log files are renamed to an ".old" file (overwriting the existing ".old" file) and the previous the log file is truncated.

BosLog - Traces BOS Server operations
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The F<BosLog> file records a trace of Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server
|
|
(B<bosserver> process) operations on the local machine and describes any
|
|
error conditions it encounters.
|
|
|
|
If the F<BosLog> file does not already exist in the F</usr/afs/logs>
|
|
directory when the BOS 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<BosLog> file grant the required C<r>
|
|
(read) permission to all users.
|
|
|
|
The BOS 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.
