Log file - permission
Post 20031 by Kelam_Magnus on Friday 19th of April 2002 09:54:19 AM

look for config file
When you load this application and it starts up, does it create the log file or do you create the log file at the beginning?
If the program creates the log file, then you should have a configuration in the file that you need to look at.
If you must create the file, are you root when you do this? Most logfiles on my system are root:root owner:group.
Try to find a config related to the application that will allow you to specify the log file.
Unless you have already done this, as root, try "chown root:mail mylogfile" and "chmod 660".

device::modem::log::file
Device::Modem::Log::File(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Device::Modem::Log::File(3pm) NAME
Device::Modem::Log::File - Text files logging plugin for Device::Modem class SYNOPSIS
use Device::Modem; my $box = Device::Modem->new( log => 'file', ... ); my $box = Device::Modem->new( log => 'file,name=/var/log/mymodem.log', ... ); ... DESCRIPTION
This is meant for an example log class to be hooked to "Device::Modem" to provide one's favourite logging mechanism. You just have to implement your own "new()", "write()" and "close()" methods. Default text file is "/var/log/modem.log". On Windows platforms, this goes into "%WINBOOTDIR%/temp/modem.log". By default, if the folder of the log file does not exist, it is created. This class is loaded automatically by "Device::Modem" class when an object is instantiated, and it is the default logging mechanism for "Device::Modem" class. Normally, you should not need to use this class directly, because there are many other zillions of modules that do logging better than this. Also, it should be pondered whether to replace "Device::Modem::Log::File" and mates with those better classes in a somewhat distant future. REQUIRES Device::Modem EXPORTS None AUTHOR
