Managing DocuPrint NPS log files
The DocuPrint NPS Printer Controller maintains logs containing
SunOS, Diagnostic, as well as Xerox Client and Printer Controller
activity messages. Each log is copied to a file in the system directory
(/var/log); an extension indicates the day (for example, .Mon). The
directory holds logs for one week.
DocuPrint NPS Printer Controller software enables you to list,
display, delete, or copy one or all of the logs to a diskette as
described in the following commands.
Note: The “DocuPrint” log is limited to 256 KB to prevent it from
possibly filling the disk.
Note: A nightly cron job automatically copies the logs and deletes
logs older than a week. If you prefer to power down the NPS
controller overnight, then you will need to change the time at which
the cron job is run.
Note: The availability of the logs depends on how long the system
has been running.
List Logs
Use the List Logs command to list all logs in the system directory (/
var/log) for the past week.
