Building alog on HPUX

[Dek_1]

Has anyone built alog on HPUX using its native compiler ( ie not gcc ) ? Or is there a compiled version available ?

Have you tried

What is alog ?

[Alessandro Pilati]

Seems alog is not available for hpux:

But I found this :
/parallel/standards/mpi/anl/nupshot.tar.Z
Nupshot: A performance visualization tool that displays logfiles in
the 'alog' format or the PICL v.1 format. Requires TCL 7.3 and TK 3.6
to build.

Download it at this site:

It seems contain the sources that you will have to compile on your hpux server.
I don't know if it will run correctly.

Stephen, alog is a program I have used on AIX which allows the system manager to set a log file size ( say 100 M) and this file will grow to that size and stay there. All earlier entries will be lost - a circular log file in effect. Great for logging.
Thanks for your link tho

Do you mean log rotation?

I think it is, so there is something for HP:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/logrotate-2.5/

It's a bit old, but I think the concept of the logs wasn't changed since than.

Alex, alog is similar, but different from logrotate. The lograotate does it by date and saves the old log - alog just keeps the last xK of information (x is of your choice)

Have you looked at smartlog? Not quite the same, but might be useful.
