IMPLOGD(8) System Manager's Manual IMPLOGD(8)
NAME
implogd - IMP logger process
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/implogd [ -d ]
DESCRIPTION
Implogd is program which logs error messages from the IMP, placing them in the file /usr/adm/implog.
Entries in the file are variable length. Each log entry has a fixed length header of the form:
struct sockstamp {
short sin_family;
u_short sin_port;
struct in_addr sin_addr;
time_t sin_time;
int sin_len;
};
followed, possibly, by the message received from the IMP. Each time the logging process is started up it places a time stamp entry in the
file (a header with sin_len field set to 0).
The logging process will catch only those message from the IMP which are not processed by a protocol module, e.g. IP. This implies the log
should contain only status information such as ``IMP going down'' messages, ``host down'' and other error messages, and, perhaps, stray NCP
messages.
