[HECnet] VMS question

If you have a batch queue running you could run a script that purges the log files you don't want periodically, something like: $! $ on error then goto END $! $ msg = "write SYS$OUTPUT" $! $ purgelogfiles_time_delta = "+06:00:00" $ purgelogfiles_submit_queue = F$GETQUI("DISPLAY_JOB","QUEUE_NAME",,"THIS_JOB") $ if purgelogfiles_submit_queue .eqs. "" then purgelogfiles_submit_queue= "SYS$BATCH" $! $! Get the current name and location of this procedure so that it can be $! checked for the latest version (update if allowed) and resubmitted to batch. $! $ active_procedure = f$environment("PROCEDURE") $ submit_procedure = f$element(0, ";", active_procedure) $! $! Wait 10 seconds for things to settle down and avoid a race condition. This $! is most effective on clusters where time between nodes may be a little off. $! $ if p1 .nes "" then goto interactive $! $ wait 00:00:10 $! $! Re-submit this procedure before anything has a chance to go wrong. $! $ submit 'submit_procedure' - /after="''purgelogfiles_time_delta'" - /log - /notify - /noprint - /queue="''purgelogfiles_submit_queue'" $! $ interactive: $! $ msg "%PURGELOG_FILES-I-UPDATE, purging log files..." ! $ @usera$:[coms]purgelogfiles.com $! $END: $ msg "%PURGELOGFILES-I-FINISHED, finished purging log files..." $ set default sys$login $ exit Where usera$:[coms]purgelogfiles.com contains something like $ purge/log/keep=3 sys$manager:*.log Note the use of the /keep qualifier - this is the number of versions of the log files you want to keep.

It's in sys$manager or sys$system. If that is too big try $set acc?/ new and move the old version off sys$sysdevice:. It's in SYS$MANAGER. At 25000 blocks (roughly) it is larger than I would expect, but it's not enourmous. Next have a look at the ?*.dmp files, if you have decservers. No DECservers are booting from VMS here. RSX responds before VMS blinks. But SYS$SYSTEM:SYSDUMP.DMP was impressively large... I wonder if I can remove that. $ dir sys$system:*.dmp/siz Directory SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSEXE] ERRORLOG.DMP;1 2049 SYSDUMP.DMP;1 2621449 Total of 2 files, 2623498 blocks.
