Informational messages on UNIX systems

As the TimesTen daemon operates, it generates error, warning,
informational and debug messages for TimesTen system administration
and for debugging applications. At installation time, you determine
whether these messages go into a file or to the

syslog

facility.

For root installs, TimesTen logs daemon messages using the

LOG_USER

facility defined by

syslog

, by default.

To specify the syslog facility used to log TimesTen Daemon and
subdaemon messages, on a separate line of the

ttendaemon.options

file add:

-facility

name

Possible name values are:

auth

,

cron

,

daemon

,

local0-local7

,

lpr

,

mail

,

news

,

user

, or

uucp

.

The

syslog

facility allows messages to be routed in a variety of ways,

including recording them to a file. The disposition of messages is under
the control of the configuration file,

/etc/syslog.conf

Entries in the syslog.conf file contain two columns. The first column
contains a list of the types of messages to log to a particular file. The
second column contains the name of the log file. A tab appears between
the message type and file name. Each entry in the syslog.conf file has
the format:
message_type file_name.
Message types are specified in two parts:

subsystem-facility.severity-level

Depending on the configuration specified in that file, messages can be
logged into various files. For the TimesTen daemon, specify the
message types:

user.debug

,

user.info

,

user.warn

and

user.err

.

You can also use the wildcard character * to represent the subsystem-
facility. Since debug messages are ranked highest, specifying

*.debug

or

user.debug

is sufficient in preparing a file for the daemon log. In a

message type list, delimit items by semi-colons. For example:
