Chris,

When you have a module logging locally, rather than to the management
station, you can force a log switch on the remote by running the following
on the management station:
        fw logswitch -h remote

If you want to get the log to the management station, you have two choices:
1: copy the log to the management station, leaving the switched log on the
module.  This is done with:
        fw logswitch -h remote +
2: transfer the log to the management station, removing the original from
the module.  This is done with:
        fw logswitch -h remote - 

If you don't use either, then you don't get a copy of the log on the
management station.

For either case, you can specify the name of the switched log.  That name
will be used on the module, and the copy on the management station will be
named remote.<name>

What are the [+|-] options for with:

fw logswitch [-h target] [+|-][oldlog]

Am I correct in assuming that:

fw logswitch my_log_file.log

will move $FWDIR/log/fw.log to $FWDIR/log/my_log_file.log?
