[comp.unix.ultrix] unaligned access

grr@cbmvax.commodore.com (George Robbins) (03/16/90)

Has anyone found out how to disable ** logging ** of the RISC unaligned access
errors to the errlog file?  It seems that that the lps20 support stuff generates
these errors with considerable frequency making my log file get kind of big...

-rw-r--r--  1 root     45772388 Mar 15 22:46 /usr/adm/syserr/syserr.cbmvax

This translates to around 150K fixup messages over a several week period.

I'd also be curious if anyone else is using the lps20 stuff or has gotten a
fixed up copy of lpscom...

Yes, I know I've got to call software support about this and a growing handful
of non-critical problems, but I'm kind of short of phone tag time right now...

I think the command uac can be used for this. I don't know if it works,
since I haven't tried it.

	that unfortunutely only stops logging of those message on the users
	control terminal.  I believe they will continue to be logged to
	the system message buffer (to which George's note refers).

	sorry ....

Works for me.

     uac s 0         ! turns off the logging system wide   (must be superuser)
     uac p 0         ! turns of logging for the parent process (shell)
                            and hence all childs. 

Both the system flag and the process flag must be turned on enable logging, so 
uac s 0 effictively disables all logging.

uac will disable the logging both to the terminal and the error log

Thanks!  This is the first clear statement I've see that states that uac
turns off both messages *and* logging to the error file.

I guess I should have tried it, but I've never had any problems with terminal
messages, despite hundreds of thousands of logged messages trying to fill up
the disk my syserr log is on...
