RC.LOG Issue

Riccardo Capuzzi_1 — Fri, 05 May 2006 02:57:02 GMT

Hi All,
i have my /etc/rc.log that is growing too much because of java error logging in it.
Is there a way to avoid this kind of logs or a way to tune rc.log?

Best Regards,
Riccardo Capuzzi

Modify the script that starts java to log somewhere else. The rc script should log only the important error in rc.log and not all errors.

Riccardo,
rc.log should only reflect errors encountered during startup i.e. when the startup scripts are running.
I would suggest looking at the startup script that is generating all the errors and editing the script to log the errors via the redirect '>'

example:
script.sh > script.log 2>&1

Is there a way to configure rc.log?

Riccardo,

rc.log is the log file used by the rc script when starting all thestartup scripts in the /sbin/rc?.d directories as per run levels.
Now you need to check which startup script is starting your java program - you can check the scripts in /sbin/init.d - to check which script is starting your java program, and then as suggested above redirect the errors to a different file.
