19.4 XDM Log Files
19.4 XDM Log Files
XDM maintains three log files to record XDM server and client activity:
• XDM server log file
• X terminal process log file
• User process log file
Table 19–1 lists the XDM log files and their OpenVMS directory locations.
Table 19–1 XDM Log Files
Process File Name Location
XDM server TCPIP$XDM_RUN.LOG SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$XDM]
X terminal xterm_name_domain.COM SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$XDM.WORK]
xterm_name_domain.ERR SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$XDM.WORK]
xterm_name_domain.OUT SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$XDM.WORK]
User xterm_name_domain.LOG SYS$LOGIN
19.5 XDM Server Startup and Shutdown
The XDM server can be shut down and started independently from the rest of the
TCP/IP Services software. This is useful when you change parameters or logical
names that require the service to be restarted.
The following files are provided:
• SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$XDM_STARTUP.COM allows you to start up the
XDM service.
• SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$XDM_SHUTDOWN.COM allows you to shut down
the XDM service.
To preserve site-specific parameter settings and commands, create the following
files. These files are not overwritten when you reinstall TCP/IP Services:
• SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$XDM_SYSTARTUP.COM can be used as a repository
for site-specific definitions and parameters to be invoked when XDM is
started.
• SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$XDM_SYSHUTDOWN.COM can be used as a
repository for site-specific definitions and parameters to be invoked when
XDM is shut down.
19.6 Configuring the XDM Server
To configure your XDM server, you need to:
• Run SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG to create the default directories and a
user ID for the XDM component. The configuration procedure checks to see
whether the following DECwindows components are installed:
SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DECW$XLIBSHR.EXE
SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DECW$XTLIBSHRR5.EXE
SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DECW$TRANSPORT_COMMON.EXE (VAX
only)
