The Error Logging Process for the system error logging facility.

Note: You must have also installed the LOG.SYS device driver.

RUN=\OS2\LOGDAEM.EXE <parameter>

Parameters

/E:filename

This is the file in which the log messages are stored and must be a fully qualified filename.

Note: Like the OS/2 INI files, this file is "locked" and you will not be able to access it with the OS/2 System Editor. You will get a "violation error". The Enhanced Editor will open the file.

/W:value

Sets up the size of the error log file. Value can be in the range from 4 Kbytes to 64 Kbytes. Default = 64 Kbytes

Note: You can also change the parameters with the SYSLOG program. Use SYSLOG.EXE from an OS/2 command line prompt to view your log file.

Example

To use C:\OS2\LOG\ERROR.LOG as the error log file with a size of 48 Kbytes, add this line to the CONFIG.SYS:

RUN=C:\OS2\LOGDAEM.EXE /E:C:\OS2\LOG\ERROR.LOG /W:48
