Very close :) Actually not DSMSERV_DIR but "current directory" where the server is started. Usually rc.adsmserv script changes to the directory (you can look in it) before to start the server. That's why dsmaccnt.log gets there when server is started from /etc/inittab. If you halt the server and start it not through rc.adsmserv (being in another directory) you will have another accounting log at different place. >From TSM for AIX Administrator's Guide (v4.2, p.432): "Accounting records are stored in the dsmaccnt.log file. The DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR environment variable specifies the directory where the accounting file is opened. If this variable is not set when the server is started, the dsmaccnt.log file is placed in the current directory when the server starts." I prefer to modify inittab line to include init level "a" thus being to start the server again using 'telinit a'.

I wonder I how I got them in the right place.....maybe it just followed the DSMSERV_DIR variables' location? lisa Zlatko Krastev/ACIT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <acit@ATTGLOBA cc: L.NET> Subject: Re: dsmaccnt.log location Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> 06/18/2002 01:51 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" ??? DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR is an environment variable and has nothing to do with dsmserv.opt.

But it continues to be created in the server install path, /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin. Any ideas what else I need to do to get dsmaccnt.log created in /var/adm/tsm? David
