NAME

implogd − IMP logger process

SYNOPSIS

/etc/implogd [ −d ]

DESCRIPTION

Implogd is program which logs error messages from the IMP, placing them in the file /usr/adm/implog.

Entries in the file are variable length.  Each log entry has a fixed length header of the form:

struct sockstamp {
shortsin_family;
u_shortsin_port;
structin_addr sin_addr;
time_tsin_time;
intsin_len;
};

followed, possibly, by the message received from the IMP.  Each time the logging process is started up it places a time stamp entry in the file (a header with sin_len field set to 0). 

The logging process will catch only those message from the IMP which are not processed by a protocol module, e.g. IP.  This implies the log should contain only status information such as “IMP going down” messages, “host down” and other error messages, and, perhaps, stray NCP messages.
