Syslogd - How to make it close and open a new messages file

I am doing some testing and I need that every time I start my testing a new
var/adm/messages file is started.
I can mv the /var/adm/messages file and touch a new message file. However,
the syslogd process still does not notice this. I know there is a way to
give a signal to the syslogd process without having to reboot the machine.
So, the instruction will be kill -<signal> <process ID - pid>
However, I do not know which signal.
I give kill -l, and it shows me a lot of signal but no speciafication or
description of each.
in the man pages of the syslogd it is mentioned this possibility, but it
does not say the signal.
Please can you help me with this.
Please e-mail to [email protected]
Thanks

Hi,
i have a solution cum - question:
Solution:
we can clear the /var/adm/messages file (just before starting the testing) by :
# > /var/adm/messages.
Q: Though this is a very crude way of doing it, This serves the purpose doesnt it ? and has worked for me. I havent found any problems with this and I dont need to reboot either .
Is there any problem that i am unaware of in this approach. ?
HTH,

  • Since installing mountain lion i have a problem with mail. when i delete a message close  and open mail the message has come back. please help!

    Since installing Mountain Lion i have a problem with Mail. I delete a number of messages from the same person but keep the newest message in my Inbox. I actually delete them from the Trash. The next time i open Mail the deleted messages are back again. Can anybody please help as this is getting annoying. Thanks in Anticipation.

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

  • DSUGui, close and open in new terminal.

    I'm running an Upgrade and its on the Preprocessing stage, I started the DSUGui session (Software delivery tool) from my own PC, I need to move the session to a server so I can work via Remote Terminal Services.
    The Question is,
    Is it safe to simply Exit the DSUGui and Open it in a new terminal?... I have done this while in between phases but not while a phase is running and I wonder if its possible or if it will terminate the upgrade process?
    Regards
    Juan

    Well, I decided to wait until the end of the phase and then start the Downtime phace DSUGui on a different terminal.
    In theory as long as the SL Controller session is left untouched you should be able to open and close the DSUGui without issues. BUT I will try this on my next test session.

  • HT201269 I downloaded from Icloud my backup to new 5S.  Everything worked fine except from one of my accounts it show I have 394 unread messages.  Which is correct but I have read all these on my 4S.  How do I show zero and only read new messages?

    I downloaded from Icloud my backup to new 5S.  Everything worked fine.
    However it shows I still have 394 unread messages.  Which correct on this new 5S Iphone but they were all read on my old 4s.
    How to I zero out the 394 and only start reading new messages on this new 5S. 
    Please do not tell i have to delete all 394 messages.
    Richard

    The process depends on who controls your email.  If you have (username)@mac.com, (username)@me.com or (username)@icloud.com you've come to the correct place.  For any other mail server, you need to contact their specific user support tools.

  • Soundblaster zx control panel. How to make it close and exit?

    When you open the control panel then close it. Its not really closed but minimized in the tray. Is there a registry hack I can do to make it actually close. So I don't have to click close, then right click it again on the tray and hit exit.

    hi wmchisholm!
    Trouble is now, when I launch the iTunes application it doesn't "open" ... although the iTunes process begins to run in the background process (ctraltdelete).
    hmmm. is itunes.exe persisting in Task Manager? if so, first check up on these two possibilities:
    iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
    iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
    but if itunes.exe is disappearing after a few seconds, try the following technique:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    ... and let us know the names (exact spelling please) of the start-up items that you had to disable in order to get itunes to launch. (there's a nasty piece of malware out there that has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failures since late October.)

  • How to make Safari browser always open a new web page in a new Safari browser window which was clicked from a PDF document URL

    Hi
    I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF view
    Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
    Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new Safari browser window ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sen Lee 

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Entourage open from dock opens a new message screen. If I open it from the application window it open to my inbox as normal. Just since upgrading to Mavericks.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, when I open Entourage from the dock it opens the program and opens a new message window. Very annoying. If I open it from the application folder it opens to my inbox like it always has. Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Dave

    the problem has been solved for me following the process :
    1 -close entourage
    2 - start and follow the complete reconstruction of the entourage database ;
    3 - in the "entourage" menu, disable "office reminds" or "office recall" (i don't know the exact name because my entourage is in french)
    For me it has worked. when i click on the dock entourage shortcut it opens without showing the new message windows at start.

  • Hi, how can I keep the same zoom level for all the pages I view in Safari and even when I close and open it.  Indeed with a 27 inch Imac I have a lot of space, most of the websites are built for smaller resolutions  and my sight is dropping !   Thx

  • When I change the row heights in a spreadsheet, then save, close, and open it, the row heights are back to default. How can I prevent this?

    One of our reports has lots of text in some rows. I import the data, adjust the row width and ask the text to wrap, which automatically sets the row height appropriately. When I save, close, and open that spreadsheet, the width is still the same and Wrap is still selected, but the rows are only one line high, which means that the report is unreadable and a serious pain to make readable.
    I can save it as a PDF, but I'd rather be able to use the Numbers format or Excel and be confident that my recipients can read it.

    Hi k,
    I'm unable to reproduce the described behaviour.
    The document containing the table below has a combination of row heights set manually using teh stepper in the Table Inspector (both 0.76" labeled rows), set manually by dragging the row boundary between row reference tabs (labeled 1/13"), and set automatically by Numbers to fit the content of the remaining cells.
    Content in the rows with names beginning E, F, G or H wraps automatically to form two rows in the cell. The rest are forced into two lines using a carriage return character.
    All maiintained their row heights through two Saves and reopenings.

  • When I remove a button, it reappears when I close and open firefox again, how do I fix this?

    For example the "share" button, if I remove it by customising Firefox, it is there again when I close and open Firefox.

  • HTML-DB OAE Javascript to close current window and open a new window

    Hi everybody,
    We work with 1.6.
    What we want is to close the current window and open a new window with the URL mentionned in the window.open('http://www.cf.qc/pls/portal/PORTAL.....,'newwindow').
    The new window opening fires only once although we call it many times.
    Our javascript is:
    function closeTest()
    { alert('closeTest');
    if('&REQUEST.'=='QUITTER2'){     
    w = window.self;
    w.opener = w;
    w.close();
    window.open('http://www.cf.qc/pls/portal/PORTAL.home','newwindow','toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
    We call it on our application attributes :
    OnLoad="closeTest()"
    Thanks. Bye.

    Try this on for size:
    I have included two functions.
    windowRebuild() - opens a new window, maximizes it based on the screen size, removes all toolbars, and then closes the old window.
    myLocation(appName, pageName) - builds a url referencing an HTMLDB application, specfic to what server you are currently on. Very useful when you have an application on 3 different servers(dev, test, prod servers), you wouldn't want the server name hardcoded if you plan to export the app to another server.
    Also, you need to be careful when using &APP_ID. I am not completely certain how that is resolved at runtime, but I've found it only works when the javascript is in the HTML Header of a page and not stored in the template of the page.
    <script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
      This functions is for internal application use.
      Examples of myLocation:
      url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'APP_PUBLIC_PAGE');
      url = myLocation('MY_APP_ALIAS', 'MY_PAGE_ALIAS');
      url = myLocation('184', '10');
    function myLocation(myApp, myPage){
      var myHost = location.host;
      var newURL;
      newURL = 'http://'+myHost+'/pls/htmldb/f?p='+myApp.toString()+':'+myPage.toString();
      return newURL;
    /*  Function windowRebuild()
    *   This function will open a new window and close the old window.
    *   This function will also maximize the new window and remove all toolbars.
    function windowRebuild(){
       if(window.name != 'myAppWin'){
        var url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'PAGE_ALIAS');
        var myWin = window.open(url,'myAppWin','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,status=1,resizable=1,location=0');
        window.opener = 'x';
        window.close();
       if(window.name == 'myAppWin'){
        window.moveTo(0,0);
        window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
    </script>Let me know if that works or you need some more explanation.
