[tac_plus] Re: How to stop tacplus logging to /var/log/syslog?

[Andy Saykao]

Hi John,

Looks like syslog changed the owner of tac_plus.log when I was playing
around with it hence why logs stop going to tac_plus.log.

root at tacplus-1:/var/log/tac_plus# ls -la tac_plus.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 syslog adm 924 2010-05-20 09:04 tac_plus.log

root at tacplus-1:/var/log/tac_plus# chown tacplus tac_plus.log

root at tacplus-1:/var/log/tac_plus# ls -la tac_plus.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 tacplus adm 2944 2010-05-20 09:08 tac_plus.log

All good now...

Thanks again.

Andy
