I am not sure about 1.7. On z/OS 1.8, my /etc/syslog.conf file looks like: kern.* /var/log/kern.%Y-%m-%d user.* /var/log/user.%Y-%m-%d mail.* /var/log/mail.%Y-%m-%d news.* /var/log/news.%Y-%m-%d uucp.* /var/log/uucp.%Y-%m-%d daemon.* /var/log/daemon.%Y-%m-%d auth.* /var/log/auth.%Y-%m-%d cron.* /var/log/cron.%Y-%m-%d local0.* /var/log/local0.%Y-%m-%d local1.* /var/log/local1.%Y-%m-%d local2.* /var/log/local2.%Y-%m-%d local3.* /var/log/local3.%Y-%m-%d local4.* /var/log/local4.%Y-%m-%d local5.* /var/log/local5.%Y-%m-%d local6.* /var/log/local6.%Y-%m-%d local7.* /var/log/local7.%Y-%m-%d #*.crit @10.171.35.14.%Y-%m-%d #mark.* /var/log/mark.%Y-%m-%d I have a crontab running from ROOT which looks like: 1 0 * * * kill -HUP $(cat /etc/syslog.pid) So that 1 second after midnight, the "kill" is issued. This causes syslogd to reread the /etc/syslog.conf and as a side effect pick up the new name. %Y is replaced with the 4 digit year, %m is replaced by the 2 digit month, %d is replaced by the 2 digit day. You can then run some other process to clean up old files in /var/log -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
