Specifying Log File Options
78 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
Access log rotation is initialized at server startup. If rotation is turned on,
Enterprise Server creates a time-stamped access log file and rotation starts at
server startup.
Once the rotation starts, Enterprise Server creates a new time stamped access
log file when there is a request that needs to be logged to the access log file
and it occurs after the previously-scheduled “next rotate time.”
For more information about achiving log files, see “Archiving Log Files,” on
page 187 in Chapter 8, “Understanding Log Files.”
Using Cron Controls (Unix Only)
You can configure several features of your Enterprise Server to operate
automatically and set to begin at specific times. The Netscape cron daemon
checks the computer clock and then spawns processes at certain times. (These
settings are stored in the
ns-cron.conf
file.)
The Netscape cron daemon that controls scheduled tasks for your Enterprise
Server can be activated and deactivated from Enterprise Administration Server.
The tasks performed by the Netscape cron process depends on the various
Netscape servers. (Note that on NT platforms, the scheduling occurs within the
individual servers.)
Some of the tasks that can be controlled by cron daemons include scheduling
collection maintenance and archiving log files. You need to restart Netscape
cron control whenever you change the settings for scheduled tasks.
To restart, start, or stop the Netscape cron control, perform the following steps:
1.
Access the Enterprise Administration Server and choose the Global Settings
tab.
2.
Click the Cron Control link.
3.
Click Restart, Start, or Stop to change the cron controls.
Note that any time you add a task to Netscape cron, you need to restart the
daemon.
