1741.0. "Pathworks writes to NSR log file !!!!" by KERNEL::BURNST () Fri Feb 07 1997 11:42

    
    
    Hi, Cust says he has a problem that a PWRK error message has appeared
    in his NSR log file.
    
    Scenario is as follows.
    
    Cust is running a alpha 2100 3 cpus 512mb mem PWOSF 5.f4 (5.0geco1 in
    test) and has NSR running / idle on the system. 
    
    He had a prob where in he thought th PW License server was down so he
    he tried to restart it only to get the message LICENSE SERVER IS
    ALREADY RUNNING. All this is OK.
    Next day when he checked the NSR log files to see the backup went Ok
    there was the same license server message in there.
    Cust would like to know how PWRK's can write to the NSR log file.?
    
    He has done this again and it did the same again so it not a 1 off
    fluke.
    Does any body know how this could posibley happen.
    Thanks for any hints or tips. Iwill cross post in DECWET::DECNSR

My guess is NSR is collecting more syslog events than just
nsr...

check out your syslog.conf file to see if it help explain it


1741.2Yes its all in syslog.confKERNEL::BURNSTMon Feb 10 1997 06:1415
    
    Thanks for the pointer and here seems to be the explaination.
    
    syslog.conf file has the entry's
    
    daemon.notice                   /dev/console
    daemon.notice                   /nsr/logs/messages
    daemon.notice                   operator
    
    This tells the system that any messages from daemon of priority notice
    will be logged to those places. This does not only pick up the NSR
    deamon messages but all deamon messages as our here also has mountd
    messages in.
