directory. If you do not do either of these tasks, your installation will run out of
space on the file system, preventing you from printing any more jobs. To avoid this
problem, you should purge or move the accounting and audit logs as part of your
system maintenance.
The accounting logs reside in a subdirectory of the server's directory. This is a
description of the names and location of the files, as well as their default
permissions:
$PDBASE/ servername /accounting.logs
where servername indicates the name of your InfoPrint AIX server. InfoPrint
provides one accounting log for each destination, named
actual_destination_name
.accounting.log.v1
, where actual_destination_name specifies
the actual destination where the job is processed. Locating them in a separate
directory makes them easier for you to manage.
InfoPrint restricts direct access to the logs by setting the permissions on the
accounting.log directory to
rwx
(read, write, execute) for root and the system
group. The logs themselves will be created with root having read and write access
and the system group having read access.
To retain a record of InfoPrint AIX server accounting data, you need to move the
existing log files to a new directory. Use this procedure:
1.
Go to the directory where the log file, for example,
prt1 .accounting.log.v1
on
server1
, is located by specifying:
cd $PDBASE/server1/accounting.logs
2. Move the prt1.accounting.log.v1 file to a directory named 1qrt2000 by
specifying:
mv prt1.accounting.log.v1 /1qrt2000
This command moves the existing file to the new directory and removes it from
the
$PDBASE/server1/accounting.logs directory. When the next job is processed
on prt1 , InfoPrint creates a new prt1.accounting.log.v1 file.
We recommend you move the data to another file system rather than deleting it
from the system. This lets you store accounting data and delete it from the system
when you no longer need to refer to it. To delete the
podaccount.log file without
storing the data in another directory,
1.
Specify
cd $PDBASE/server1/accounting.logs
This command moves you into the correct path.
2. Enter
rm prt1.accounting.log.v1
When the AIX command-line prompt returns, you know that the
prt1.accounting.log.v1 file has been deleted from the system.
3. Enter
ls
This command displays the contents of your directory for you to verify that the
file has been deleted. When the next job is submitted for printing, InfoPrint
creates a new
prt1.accounting.log.v1 file and writes the data into that file.
The pdaccount command only finds and processes the information in the original
files. Once you move or rename the files, you cannot use the pdaccount command
