The User Logging system process is identifiable
to the system by a logid.
A maximum of 64 logging processes may be defined on the system at
one time (configurable at system startup). The logid is an
8-character identifier created with the :GETLOG command.
To create a new logid, the logfile name to be used by
the process and the media (DISC or TAPE)
it is to reside on, must be specified. Other variables that may
be specified include: the group and account of a DISC
logfile, a password, and what to do when the logfile is full.
Identifying LOGIDs on the System |
 |
To find the logids currently known to the system and the
attributes of each, use the :LISTLOG command:
:$$LISTLOG
LOGID CREATOR CHANGE AUTO CURRENT LOG FILE
BON MARK.MPEM YES NO BON003.DOVI.MPEM
KATHY KATHY.MPEM YES YES KAT001.SNIDER.MPEM
TEST1 KATHY.MPEM NO NO LOGF.TEST.MPEM
|
A password will be displayed to the logid's creator only if
the creator has specified the ;PASS option:
:$$LISTLOG logid;PASS
LOGID CREATOR CHANGE AUTO CURRENT LOG FILE
TEST1/SECRET KATHY.MPEM NO NO LOGF.TEST.MPEM
|
Changing Attributes Associated with LOGIDs |
|
All attributes associated with the logid can be changed by
the creator of the logid using the :ALTLOG command when
the logging process is not running.
An application accessing
the logging process supplies the logid and password; this
allows the other attributes to change without
changing an application. A logid can be removed from the
system by the creator only, using the :RELLOG command.
If a password is specified with :ALTLOG or :GETLOG
it will be required each time the User Logging process is accessed.
For example, when using the OPENLOG intrinsic. Any user
with LG or OP capability which supplies the logid and
password will be allowed access to the logging
process.
