exec-prod HPC35450A /usr/sbin/tape_prog no-exec /var/tape_fifo
passes the raw log entry for entries for product
HPC35450A thru the FIFO file /var/tape_fifo.
exec_logger tape2 /usr/sbin/tape_prog no-exec /var/tape_fifo
passes the raw log entry for entries for the tape2
driver thru the FIFO file /var/tape_fifo.
disk-threshold 80 suspends logging if disk space usage exceeds 80%.
rate-threshold 20 suspends logging if the rate exceeds 20
entries/minute.
switch-threshold 1000 switches log files when the current one reaches 1
Mbyte.
Whenever a directive is added to the configuration file that results in logging being
suspended, the logger process will log an entry itself which indicates when and for what
entries logging has been suspended. Similarly, when a directive is removed from the file
and logging is consequently resumed, an entry will be logged indicating when and for
what entries logging has been resumed along with the number of entries that were lost
during the suspension. Suspend/resume entries will also be logged by the logger when
thresholds are reached causing logging to suspend and again when logging is resumed.
