Error description
Since upgrading to ITM UNIX OS agent 06.20.01.00, the local logfile <hn>_ux_<epochtime>.log grows by 2MB/hour or more, leading to frequent agent failure due to lack of disk space. Server has more than 1000 UNIX print queues defined and log file content is almost exclusively about print queues 06.20.01.00 agent has added logging for the UNIX Printer queues that wasn't there before in the 06.20.00.00 agent. This logging is excessive because the machine has more than 1000 UNIX print queues. Desired correction to defect is to disable this additional logging.
