Conquest Linux save logfile

sf · Feb 25th 2008

Hello,

i use my conquest under linux.
i want to know where the logfile is?

i start dgate as an daemn with the start-stop-daemon under debian.

here is my script:

Code

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin


. /lib/lsb/init-functions


NAME=conquest
DAEMON=/opt/conquest/dgate
PIDFILE=/var/run/dgate.pid


test -x $DAEMON || exit 5


if [ -r /etc/default/$NAME ]; then
        . /etc/default/$NAME
fi




RUNASUSER=conquest
UGID=$(getent passwd $RUNASUSER | cut -f 3,4 -d:) || true


case $1 in
        start)
                log_daemon_msg "Starting conquest server" "dgate"
                if [ -z "$UGID" ]; then
                        log_failure_msg "user \"$RUNASUSER\" does not exist"
                        exit 1
                fi
                start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --chdir /opt/conquest --background --make-pidfile $PIDFILE --pidfile $PIDFILE --startas $DAEMON -v 
                log_end_msg $?
                ;;
        stop)
                log_daemon_msg "Stopping conquest server" "dgate"
                start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile $PIDFILE
                log_end_msg $?
                rm -f $PIDFILE
                ;;
        status)
                pidofproc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON >/dev/null
                status=$?
                if [ $status -eq 0 ]; then
                        log_success_msg "conquest server is running"
                else
                        log_failure_msg "conquest server is not running."
                fi
                exit $status
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status}"
                exit 2
                ;;
esac

Hi,

you should run dgate as dgate -^logfile

thanks for this info:

by the "start-stop-daemon" you musst do "--" bevor

linke:

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --chdir /opt/conquest --background --make-pidfile $PIDFILE --pidfile $PIDFILE --startas $DAEMON -- -^/opt/conquest/logfile

Question:

do this logfile "auto-rotate" or is it LIMI in it's size.?

Hi,

no, the logfile just keeps growing. The windows GUI zips the files every night but this is not in the linux version.

For security reasons I have added a user "conquest" and the package authbind to allow access to priveleged ports.
I added the following entries to dicom.ini:
HomeDir = /usr/local/conquest
StatusLog = /var/log/conquest/NMPACS.serverstatus.log
TroubleLog = /var/log/conquest/NMPACS.PacsTrouble.log

The file /etc/cron.weekly/conquest_rotate does weekly log rotation for me.

Bash

#!/bin/bash


# conquest_rotate      Cron script to rotate conquest log files.
#     Keep files for 365 days
#     Read filenames from dicom.ini

for i in ${HOMES[@]}; do


        INI=${i}/dicom.ini
        STATUSLOG=${i}/serverstatus.log
        TROUBLELOG=${i}/PacsTrouble.log


        set -e

                STATUSLOG=`egrep -i '^*StatusLog' $INI | sed 's/\r//'  | awk '{ print  $3}'`

This copes with multiple pacs instances on the same host. The advantage of using savelog is that old logfiles are compressed.
It should be quite simple to edit the files to have executable or log in /opt.
Also, don't forget to set the appropriate file permissions for the user that runs conquest.

Hi Mark,

I have added your stuff to the 1.4.14beta manual.
