osm.conf(4)                                                     osm.conf(4)

NAME
     osm.conf - configuration file for the OSM osmd log daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/default/osm.conf

DESCRIPTION
     The file contains three values which override the defaults for the
     osmd daemon (OSM - Operating System Messages). The configuration file
     is supplied in the following format:

          # pathname of protocol files (without suffix):
          PROTOCOL=/var/adm/log/osm
          # number of files in cycle:
          MAX=3
          # size of protocol files in bytes (5MB):
          SIZE=5120000

     PROTOCOL defines the pathname of the protocol files. The messages are
     always written to the file without the suffix. As soon as this file
     has reached the maximum size permitted, a suffix is appended made up
     of date and time.

     MAX defines the maximum number of files in the cycle. When a new pro-
     tocol file has to be created, the oldest protocol files are deleted to
     ensure that the maximum number of files in the cycle is maintained
     again.

     SIZE defines the maximum size per file.

     The configuration file is not overwritten in the case of an update
     installation to ensure that manual changes to the settings are not
     lost. The signal 1 (SIGHUP) must be sent to the osmd daemon so that it
     can load the modified content of the /etc/default/osm.conf configura-
     tion file.
