121.0. "LOG FILE TOO BIG" by TRN02::MAINA (IT ALWAYS RAINS WHERE IT'S ALREADY WET..I'M SO DRY) Mon Oct 26 1992 05:06

    I'm using ZAP V.5.0 on MVAX 3900 with VMS 5.4-2. The problem I have, is
    that ZAP$LOG_NODENAME.LOG file is growing continuously. After one day
    is about 10000 blocks, and this is causing disk space problems. What is
    recorded typically, is " %ZAP-W-NORULE no rule found for process XYZ".
    This is recorded hundred or thousands of times. How can I stop this
    completely unuseful logging ?
    			Thanks for any kind of help.

121.1You need a 'global' rule for the last ruleZAPDEV::MACONIThe Doctor is InMon Oct 26 1992 13:1921
It sounds like you have not placed a 'global' rule that applies to all processes
in your exception database.  The last rule in the exception database should
always be in the form:

		NODE:		*
		USERNAME:	*
		UIC:		[*,*]
		IMAGE NAME:	*
		PROCESS CLASS:	ALL
		TERMINAL NAME:	*
		FROM:		00:00
		UNTIL:		23:59
		WARNING:	Y
		IDLE LIMIT:	<any integer or * for no limit>
		ACTION:		STOP or LOG ...

If, by default, you want to log people off, then specify an idle time limit and
the STOP action.  If by default you want to ignore people, then use the idle
time limit * (none) [The action will never be used, so STOP or LOG are the same]

    Keith,
    	 you were right: a 'global' buffer rule was missing. Now it works
    fine.
    			Thanks a lot
