[comp.os.vms] A Problem with SUBMIT/REMOTE Logfiles

forrest@CSA1.LBL.GOV (04/29/88)

We're having a strange problem with logfiles that are created as
a result of running the SUBMIT/REMOTE command. If I'm on system A
and do a SUBMIT/REMOTE to system B, the logfile that is created in
the default directory for my proxy on system B is deleted when
the batch job is finished. However, if I'm on system B and
do the SUBMIT/REMOTE to system A, the logfile is kept. In
both cases the job runs succesfully. The problem must be related
to the configuration on system B but I don't know what specifically
to look for. It shouldn't matter but system B is a clustered 8650
and system A is a LAVC clustered Microvax. Proxys and priviliges
must be OK since the job itself runs fine. I should add that the
log file is created on system B and I can look at it while the batch
job is running. It contains what I'd expect. I just don't understand
why it is deleted.

Comments?

Check whether there is a sys$print queue on the 8650. If so, you
will probably find that your batch job log is being printed there
when the job finishes. It is the default behaviour in that sort of
setup, and is one of the main reasons why we don't have a sys$print.
