In the description above, the log file name is what the user specified on the command
line. If the user specifies a -f command line option as the last parameter on the
command line and does not specify a log file name, then the default log file name of
ISDNTRACE will be used.
Note: In order to get a default log file name, the -f option has to be used at the end
of the command line.
For example, if the user started ISDNtrace specifying the -f command line option
without a log file name on January 17, 2007 at 03:11:27 pm, the log file created would
be:
isdntrace-01172007-15h11m27s.log
Alternatively, the user can specify the -f command line option with a log file name
specified as in the following example:
isdntrace -b0 -f test
In this example, if ISDNtrace was started on January 17, 2007 at 03:11:27 pm, the
resultant log file name would be:
test-01172007-15h11m27s.log
It should be noted that since the log file name created by ISDNtrace has a .log
extension appended to it, if the user specifies a log file name with a .log extension
already appended to it, the resultant log file name will have the date and time inserted
between the root log file name and the extension. For example, if the user issued the
following command line:
isdntrace -b0 -f 4ess_test.log
Then the resultant log file name would be:
4ess_test-01172007-15h11m27s.log
-m<n>
The -m command line option is used to specify the maximum log file size. By default,
the maximum log file size is 100 Megabytes. The valid range that can be specified for
the maximum log file size is from 100 Kilobytes up to 100 Megabytes.
The format of the file size is specified as a long integer value. For example, to specify
a maximum log file size of 250,000 bytes, the following command line should be
specified:
isdntrace -b0 -m250000 -f test.log
It should also be noted that the -m command line option will have no effect if the log
file array size is 1, in which case the log file will be allowed to grow in size without limit.
-s
The -s command line option can be specified to prevent trace output to STDOUT.
When ISDNtrace attempts to capture a large amount of trace information in a short
amount of time, its processing can fall behind if trace output is displayed to STDOUT.
This will result in “enqueue fail” failures and the loss of trace information as seen in the
example below:
