ArchiveTimeOfDay statement

Use the ArchiveTimeOfDay statement to specify a local time of day to perform an archive of all eligible UNIX files. Each configured rule that specifies a UNIX file as the destination and that specifies the -N parameter to indicate that it is eligible for archive processing is a candidate for automatic archival.

You can use this statement to perform archiving at a specific local time of day, or you can use the ArchiveThreshold statement to perform archiving when one or more file systems reaches a configured threshold. You can also specify both statements.

If the ArchiveTimeOfDay statement is specified multiple times, syslogd uses the last instance of the statement.

Requirement: The -c start option is required when you use the ArchiveTimeOfDay statement.


>>-ArchiveTimeOfDay--time--------------------------------------><

time: Specifies the local time of day to perform an automatic archival of all UNIX files. Specify the local time value in hours and minutes, using a 24 hour clock. For example, the value 00:01 means to archive at 1 minute past midnight. There is no default; if you do not specify this statement, syslogd does not perform automatic time of day archival.
