ASET Execution Log

ASET generates an execution log whether it runs interactively or in the background. By default, ASET generates the log file on standard output. The execution log confirms that ASET ran at the designated time, and also contains any execution error messages. The -n option of the aset command directs the log to be delivered by electronic mail to a designated user. For a complete list of ASET options, refer to aset(1M).

Example of an Execution Log File

ASET running at security level low

Machine=example; Current time = 0325_08:00


aset: Using /usr/aset as working directory

Executing task list...
        firewall
        env
        sysconfig
        usrgrp
        tune
        cklist
        eeprom
All tasks executed. Some background tasks may still be running.

Run /usr/aset/util/taskstat to check their status:
     $/usr/aset/util/taskstat     aset_dir
Where aset_dir is ASET's operating directory, currently=/usr/aset

When the tasks complete, the reports can be found in:
     /usr/aset/reports/latest/*.rpt
You can view them by:
more /usr/aset/reports/latest/*.rpt 

The log first shows the system and time that ASET was run. Then it lists each task as it is started.

ASET invokes a background process for each of these tasks, which are described in "ASET Tasks". The task is listed in the execution log when it starts; this does not indicate that it has been completed. To check the status of the background tasks, use the taskstat utility.
