How to Move the Log From syslog to a Separate File

  1. Select a file of specific maximum size to serve as the PatchPro circular log.

  2. Become superuser.

  3. Save the current PatchPro configuration by creating a copy of the PatchPro configuration file.


    # cp /etc/opt/SUNWppro/etc/patchpro.conf \
    /etc/opt/SUNWppro/etc/patchpro.conf.orig
    
  4. Edit the patchpro.conf configuration file.

    1. Change the value of the patchpro.log.file property to specify the new log file.

    2. Change the value of the patchpro.log.size property to specify the size of the log file in bytes.

  5. Resume syslog logging.


    # cp /etc/opt/SUNWppro/etc/patchpro.conf.orig \
    /etc/opt/SUNWppro/etc/patchpro.conf
