Changing an Existing System Log Message
To change a specific line in an existing log message, enter the
following command to find out its line number:
query logmsg
In response to this command, CP displays
the log message. A log message contains:
- A header line that indicates the time the log message was last
updated.
A sample header line might look like this:
LOGMSG - 10:37:28 EDT WEDNESDAY 01/23/98
- Up to 50 lines containing the line number and the log message
text.
CP displays one line for each nonnull log message line. If all of the lines are null, CP sends you a message saying that there is no LOGMSG data. In addition, CP displays line numbers for nonnull log message lines only if you have class B privileges.
Once you know the line number of a specific line, you can enter a SET LOGMSG command to change it to the new text.
To delete a specific line from an existing log message, enter:
set logmsg nn null
where nn is
the line number of the message you want to delete.
