${BSE}/log directory
The ${BSE}/log directory contains error messages, and some additional information, which is stored in a log file. Porting set version 9.0b uses these log file formats:
-
<program
name>-<sequence>.log
if log rotation is enabled.
-
<program
name>.log
If log rotation is not enabled.
Porting sets of an earlier version use the log.<program name> convention and do not support a configurable log rotation count.
The size of the log files in ${BSE}/log is adjustable. By default, the size of the log files is 2048 KB. When a log file exceeds that size, the bshell automatically rotates to the next file in sequence, for example from bshell-001.log to bshell-002.log.
To adjust the size of the log files, set the
log_size resource.
The sequence number is limited by the
log_rotation_count resource. The default value is two.
When the sequence number reaches the
log_rotation_count value, the rotation counter starts
again at sequence number one.
Log rotation is disabled when
log_rotation_count is less than two or when
log_size has a negative value (which means unlimited).
In that case, logging is written to a single file.
To set these resources, for example, add these lines to the $BSE/lib/defaults/all file:
log_size:1024
log_rotation_count:10
