LOGADM.CONF(5) File Formats and Configurations LOGADM.CONF(5)

NAME

logadm.conf - configuration file for logadm command

SYNOPSIS

/etc/logadm.conf

DESCRIPTION

/etc/logadm.conf is the default configuration file for the log
management tool logadm(8). Comments are allowed using the pound
character (#) and extend to the end of line. Each non-comment line
has the form:

logname options


where logname is the name of the entry and options are the default
command line options for the logadm command. The name of the entry
may be the same as the name of the log file, or a log file name may
be given in the options section of the entry. Long lines may be
folded using a backslash followed by a newline to continue an entry
on the next line. Single or double quotes may be used to protect
spaces or alternate-style quotes in strings.


The preferred method for changing /etc/logadm.conf is to use the -V,
-w, and -r options to the logadm(8) command, which allow you to
lookup an entry, write an entry, or remove an entry from
/etc/logadm.conf.


A full description of how and when /etc/logadm.conf is used and
sample entries are found in logadm(8).


By default, logadm(8) works in GMT. Therefore, all entries in
/etc/logadm.conf will have a GMT timestamp. Users can use the -l
option to set logadm to local time.
