Erm, Daniel.. I (briefly) explained how to do this to you before on 8/2/2006. If there's a problem with my explanation, I'd be happy to answer questions about it. I think the biggest thing you need to get your mind around is that unix platforms use a "system logger" approach. What exact files logs get written to isn't up to the application, it's up to the syslog daemon. The basic theory behind this is to centralize all the logging into one tool. That way only one tool ever needs to be aware of your specific directory structure. While some apps do write their own logs, most just use the syslog feature. Learning how to use it is useful, as it is THE primary way logging is done on your system. Repost: --------------- man syslog.conf vi /etc/bigsister/adm/resources vi /etc/syslog.conf ps ax kill -HUP <PID of syslogd> More detailed: Logging in *nux is generally a function of two things: 1) what "facility" your application passes when it calls to syslog 2) what file syslog is configured to direct that "facility" to. Right now, bigsister is defaulting to using "daemon" as a facility. Your syslog.conf is probably configured to send *.info (ie: all facilities, with severity info or higher, perhaps with some exceptions like cron.none) to /var/log messages. you could change this by taking advantage of one of the unused "local" facilities. (note: all theoretical, I've not tested this but it should work) quick example syslog.conf (using local5): -------- *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local5.none; /var/log/messages local5.* /var/log/bigsister --------- note I added local5.none to the /var/log/messages specs to prevent these from going to both files. Otherwise syslog WILL write it to both files at the same time. and /etc/bigsister/adm/resources: --------- *.log_facility=local5 --------- You could also try editing /etc/bigsister/resources, but that warns to to only edit the adm/resources file. This file, and directory, don't even exist on my box, but I'm assuming that's where they belong ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
