This executable is the daemon process for the system error logging. note: You must have also installed the LOG.SYS 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 your standard text editor or 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.

See the example below.

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

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

NOTE: Use SYSLOG.EXE from an OS/2 command line prompt to view your log file.

Platform Support:
OS/2 2.x OS/2 3.0 OS/2 4.0 OS/2 4.5x
