smit.log????

[bonsky]

AIXers,

I believed that everytime you do smitty it creates a smit.logs. For root users and as well as other users. Is it possible for us to stop this logging??? How to stop this??? thanks a lolt!

Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is going to work or not, but you might try to redirect the logs to /dev/null
There's an option (try "man smit&quot allowing you to specify path and name for the smit Log-Files ...

Create a script and call it tidy.sh. put the following two line in it

find / -type f -name smit.log -exec rm {} \;
find / -type f -name smit.script -exec rm {} \;

Then just call the tidy script from crontab each night to remove them.

crontab -e

0 0 * * 0 /usr/local/bin/tidy.sh

Personally I use my smit.* a lot for making new scripts. If one person is being a pest, rather than remove everyone's smit.* maybe you should just remove the one.

Another cute way to "fix" it is link the filenames to /dev/null. Sometimes we do that with SAP core files, but it's not really good admining. Better to truncate, I think. Do a tail for however many lines you want to a temp file then mv temp to original.

My rambling helps me think... =)
