Hi

Could anyone tell me what the following has an impact on the os /var/sam_remove.log.
Can you please advise me if this is deleted what effect does it have.
If i VI in to it there is nothing but when i go to remove it the following message comes up:
sam_remove.log: 660 mode ? (y/n)

Hi,
I can't tell you what it is for, as I don't have one on my Hp UX system, however you can probably use samlog_viewer to view the log and then determine exactly where it may come from and whether you need it.

Hi Simon,
If nothing in it. why do you want to remove it?
Tis is the log file. you can remove it and it will not effect your system. or you can do like #cat /dev/null > /var/sam_remove.log.

mode is 660 means file is rw-rw---- owner and group user of this file can read and write to this file.

My suggestion remove it. As a root.
#cd /var
#chmod 777 sam_remove.log
#rm sam_remove.log
