/etc/cronlog.conf not working
I am trying to get the /etc/cronlog.conf working, but so far have not been able to.

I created the /etc/cronlog.conf file with the following entries.

logfile=/var/adm/cron/log
size=30k
rotate=2
compress

Then I kill the current cron daemon and check to make sure that it has respawned with a new pid. However, it still does not seem to work. I have tried pointing the logfile to another file to see if it is working, but it still points to the default cron log file.

Any ideas?

Thanks Smilie

Is it possible that the initscript for cron is already specifying a alternate file for configuration? (cron -f /some/file). Try restarting cron forcing the configuration file location: cron -f /etc/cronlog.conf.

Cheers,

Keith

the reason why it was not working is due to the fact this is a new option for Aix 5.3. I was trying to get this to work on Aix 5.2. The problem was I was doing a search on IBM' pSeries and Aix Information center and I could not tell which version this applied to.

Would this cause cronjobs that ran fine under 4.3.3 to not run on 5.3 of AIX?

we only have gotten as high as Aix 5.2, so I am not sure about 5.3. Did you check the /var/adm/cron/log file?
