Subject: Can I specify log file in config file ?
Greetings -
I have read through the man page, the web support site, and have been
following the mailing list for months, but I have not seen an answer to
this question so I thought I would try here. Please forgive me if it has
been answered elsewhere, then point me to where I can find it, since it
seems like such a simple question. I have a lot of ntp messages
cluttering up my general syslog file (var/log/messages) and I would like
to have the ntp messages go to a specific ntp log files such as
var/log/ntpmsg. I was hoping to be able to define the log file for ntp in
my configuration file, but I do not see any information detailing how I
would do that. I did notice that I can specify a log file as an argument
when starting ntp from the command line, but I do not want to have to
remember that each time I have to start/restart ntp. So the important
question is: how can I specify in the configuration file a unique log file
to send all my ntp log messages to? Thanks for any help.

Ronan Flood replied:
"logfile /var/log/ntpmsg" in ntp.conf should do it; ref
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/miscopt.html
and Richard B. Gilbert replied:
Here's a segment of my ntp.conf file
#
# NTP monitoring parameters
#
logfile /var/ntp/ntp.log <------------- That's how
Thanks Ronan and Richard for the courteous replies that include good
examples and a reference to the web page that explains this option that I
apparently overlooked. This should do just what I need now.
Jeff
