Strange thing when search a file~

Hi all,

my SLS job create a log file at 10 am.
but when i use $sear logfile "user: sls"
(it will sear the lastest version, right?)
but actually, the output shows that the file being searched is the old one(yesterday)

i'm not sure if it's the system bug...
anyone knows that?

Check the file version of the log file. If file version at 32767 then reset to 1
eg $ rename x.log;32767 x.log;1

Have you really checked, that a newer version exists? May be there was an error during logfile creation.

Do you use a real filename or a logicalname to refer to the logfile?

Davor,

Make sure the logfile
1. has been created in the correct location.
2. file creation/modification date,
3. your system date
