Controlling the user syslog message can save disk space.
By default, Sybase IQ logs messages to the user syslog facility on UNIX. On most UNIX systems, the user syslog facility is not logged, however, on HP-UX systems, the default syslog configuration places the messages sent to the user facility in the syslog files. As a result, these files may fill up, causing the file system on which they reside to become full.
Turn off the user facility in syslog.conf
or
Use the -s IQ server switch to redirect the server's syslog output to a different facility, and turn off that different facility.
Method 1:
This example shows how you might edit the syslog.conf file on an HP-UX system.
Original syslog.conf file
# @(#) $Revision: 74.1 $
# syslogd configuration file.
#
# See syslogd(1M) for information about the format of this file.
#
mail.debug /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
*.info;mail.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.alert /dev/console
*.alert root
*.emerg *
syslog.conf file after modification
# @(#) $Revision: 74.1 $
#
# syslogd configuration file.
#
# See syslogd(1M) for information about the format of this file.
#
mail.debug /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
*.info;mail.none;user.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.alert;user.none /dev/console
*.alert;user.none root
*.emerg;user.none *
