Question

Where are the shutdown/startup logs on hosted servers? -- showing, for instance, the startup following the application of a Service Pack on the server.

Answer

When the startup is run via the /exlibris/startup/start_stop script, an aleph_startup.log file is produced in $alephe_root:

case "$1" in
'start')
/bin/su $suff $EXLIBRIS_OWNER -c "nohup ${alephe_dev}/${alephe_root}/${start_ut} >& ${alephe_dev}/${alephe_root}/${start_ut}.log"
;;

Since there’s no date as part of the filename the log is overwritten with each start_stop startup.

Additional Information

The value of start_ut is set in this line in start_stop:

start_ut=`echo $_LINE | awk -F: '{print $5}' -`
