PATHMON Environment’s Autorestart for the iTP
Secure WebServer and Related Processes

Any Parallel Library TCP/IP configuration.
The -rollover argument causes the httpd process to save the files that it is logging to
and to log to new, empty files. Using -rollover eliminates the need to manually
rename log files when you want to archive them and start new ones. The -rollover
argument saves the current log files using the names specified in the AccessLog,
ErrorLog, and ExtendedLog directives, but appends a timestamp to the name.
•
When you use -rollover as the only argument to the httpd command, the
current log files are saved and the httpd process begins logging to new files. If the
log file names have been changed in the configuration file, the iTP Secure
WebServer ignores the change and opens new files using the old names.
•
When you use -rollover with -start, the log files that were in use when the
iTP Secure WebServer was stopped are saved on startup, and the httpd process
begins logging to new files. If the log file names have been changed in the
configuration file, the server opens new files using the new names.
•
When you use -rollover with -restart, the current log files are saved when
the iTP Secure WebServer is stopped, and the httpd process begins logging to new
files when it is started again. If the log file names have been changed in the
configuration file, the server opens new files using the new names.
•
When you use -rollover with -restarth, the current log files are saved, and
the httpd process begins logging to new files. If the log file names have been
changed in the configuration file, the server opens new files using the new names.
•
When you use -rollover with -stop, the current log files are saved before the
httpd process is stopped. When the iTP Secure WebServer is started again, it begins
logging to new files.
PATHMON Environment’s Autorestart for the iTP
Secure WebServer and Related Processes
Because the iTP Secure WebServer and related processes run in a PATHMON
environment, a process that fails is restarted automatically, ensuring persistence of its
service. (PATHMON does not automatically restart a process that the operator has
explicitly stopped.)
Note. If no disk space is available to save the current log files, a message (#580) appears on
the command line. Logging stops, and the iTP WebServer reports to the Event Management
Service (EMS) that it cannot write to the log files. To recover from this condition, either provide
more disk space for the logs or, if the log files are very large, archive or delete them and restart
the httpd process.
