Re: [Dpcl-develop] daemon log file

[Dave W. <dwo...@us...>]

The DPCL daemon log should not be deleted for any reason. If Ais_blog_on 
successfully starts the log, it should be present in /tmp (by default, 
overridable by changing the path in /etc/xinetd.d.dpclSD). Are you certain 
that the DPCL daemon is running to the point that logging is started? Note 
that if the daemon does not get far enough to start handling requests from 
the client, then logging will not start.

The DPCL super daemon log does get deleted, but only on successful exit by 
the super daemon.

The only unlink call in the DPCL code that could be deleting any log file 
is in teh DPCL super daemon.

Is the file in fact gone, or is it zero length?

What are the symptoms of the failure?

Dave

        Subject:        [Dpcl-develop] daemon log file



   Is there a way to ensure the dpclsd.nnnn file is not thrown away
 when the daemon crashes?? The DEBUG_DAEMON isn't overly helpful and
 I know a lot of 'log_write's are being done and then being discarded.
 Thanks for any help.
