Thanks to all for you replies Renaud,
I tried your solution. I tried with apache. I was able to modify the apache properties like you suggested me (also mentionned in Infodoc 87992 "How to redirect service log output with SMF") > svccfg -s apache2 > setprop start/exec = "/lib/svc/method/http-apache2 start > /var/log/testlog > 2>&1" > listprop start/exec > start/exec astring "/lib/svc/method/http-apache2 start > /var/log/testlog > 2>&1" After that using svcadm I refresh and restarted the service. The modification were recorder correctly > pargs -e `pgrep -f /usr/apache2/bin/httpd` > SMF_METHOD=/lib/svc/method/http-apache2 start > /var/log/testlog 2>&1 But logging goes still to /var/svc/log I'm affraid that what David says is right : "Messages logged by svc.startd will still go into the /var/svc/log file" Tony is right, it's still possible to configure usual apache logging (access_log & error_log) The only working way I found is > /usr/apache2/bin/apachectl start > /var/log/testlog 2>&1 :-) This message posted from opensolaris.org
