Re: [FW-1] NG Log Switch

["Grabowski, David" <david.grabowski@FW1-NOSPAMUS.MIZUHO-SC.COM>]

We had the *exact* same problem -- on the *exact* same date! I opened a case with Nokia, but the nitwit I spoke with was unable to comprehend the fact that you don't need to run a scheduled job anymore -- that it's configurable in the policy (he kept referring back to the old KB articles for 4.1/2000 and said that "it's the same for NG").

 

After a few days of back-and-forth with this guy, I gave up and scheduled an "at" job (management is W2K). Works great.

I had configured my management station to switch the log files over

I need it to switch the file over each night because it grows too large
to be effective for us in the log viewer.

I used to be able to do a log switch under cron under version 4.1.  Any
chance of getting fw logswitch to work under cron, or is there a magic
fix for the GUI config.  I checked the objects.C file in the config
directory and here is what it states for logswitch...

                                 :log_switch_schedule (ReferenceObject
                                         :Name (Midnight)
                                         :Table (times)
                                         :Uid
("{107CC616-E8C7-11D5-945E-CDD963056370}")
                                 )

Any ideas?
