File version limits on NTP log files

[comarow]

Even if it automatically purges files, the version limit will go up. Either you'll need to manually reset to version one, delete to 0 versions, or run a com procedure,

Purging reduces number of files, not the version limit.

Don,
in my experience version limit purges files. In your report log fileshave version from 922 to 941 that's exactly 20 files.
Excecuting SHO DEV /FILE you could see if and what processes keep file opened.

As I reported in my response to Keith and Gary yesterday, I to like they had reported, had found a NTP process (TCPIP$NTP_1 to be precise) kept the first log file open as shown by SHO DEV/FILE. As such,Gary's suggestion seems to answer my question.

The question I would have now is why does NTP keep the first log file open. I think this is a question for HP, is it a fault or part of their design?

Thanks
Don
