  • cronapps.log

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to All on Tue Nov 11 23:15:29 2014
    Can anybody tell me where (if any) I can find the setting that prevents Argus from logging it's cron activities?

    cronapps.log is *so* very uninteresting, at least to me, and it fills up pretty fast. :(

    In Radius I have an option Config-->Preferences-->Logs. The filenames can be changed. I guess in theory you could set the cronapps.log entry to 'nul' (sans
    quotes).

    Is this do-able in Argus? Nyah-nyah. 8-)

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Gah!

    Nah, but with a batch file... 8-)

    Each morning in what I call a 'pre-maint' BATch called by Radius, which firstly
    shuts Radius down, I concatenate most of the textual-based logfiles into a single log that's manipulated later by another script...

    --- 8< ---
    COPY /Y ip_?.log IP-Calls.Log
    COPY /Y polls.log+cronapps.log+IP-Calls.Log+traps.log Mailer0X.log
    --- 8< ---
    (That's not quite the whole thing. Just the pertinent bits.)

    The naming convention "Mailer??.log" is used by the follow-on script. That script re-starts Radius just before it exits.

    I fear I may be re-telling an old tale of mine. Apologies in advance if it grates on your nerves.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    No worries, mate! Old, senile farts like me have to be reminded once and again.

    I do something similar (involving my DAYNBR program to get the proper extension), only I do it once a week.

    I've pretty-much learned when to bite my tongue. I just have yet to learn when
    to shut up. :)

    (What I had posted was the tail/tale to re-tell, already.)

    Cheers,
    Paul.
