Hi, I had set up the previous version of Sniffer in persistent mode using the Win2k Server Resource Kit tool "SrvAny" (I don't like to install "forth" party utilities on my production machines, if Microsoft tools are readily available).
In the NEW Sniffer version I noticed that my log files were not rotating. Upon further investigation it became clear, that Sniffer was no longer running in persistent mode since the upgrade (thus ignoring the "rotate" command). The clue was a missing "*.persistent.stat" file. After some experimenting I determined that the problem was that (at least on MY machine) Sniffer now requires the explicit specification of a an application working directory. Here is my updated SrvAny configuration: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sniffer\Parameters] "Application"="D:\\IMAIL\\Sniffer\\Win32\\MyLicenseKey.exe" "AppParameters"="MyAuthorizationCode persistent" "AppDirectory"="D:\\IMAIL\\Sniffer\\Win32" Best Regards Andy Schmidt Phone: +1 201 934-3414 x20 (Business) Fax: +1 201 934-9206 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Schmidt Sent: Sunday, October 31, 2004 09:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [sniffer] LogRotate no longer working? Hi, After 10/28 the log files have not been rotation. I even logged into the server and executed the "send-rotate" - but the current log files just continues to grow: 10/24/2004 11:00p 1,324,321 x.log.20041025040052 10/25/2004 05:44a 1,303,683 x.log.20041025104510 10/25/2004 01:37p 1,711,062 x.log.20041025183751 10/25/2004 08:25p 1,403,988 x.log.20041026012528 10/26/2004 03:19a 1,100,582 x.log.20041026082022 10/26/2004 11:17a 2,158,910 x.log.20041026161756 10/26/2004 07:11p 1,999,926 x.log.20041027001129 10/27/2004 01:53a 1,619,614 x.log.20041027065310 10/27/2004 09:52a 1,689,744 x.log.20041027145244 10/27/2004 04:41p 1,591,043 x.log.20041027214159 10/28/2004 01:11a 1,598,140 x.log.20041028061150 10/28/2004 07:22a 1,137,471 x.log.20041028122216 10/28/2004 02:27p 1,518,661 x.log.20041028192727 10/31/2004 09:09p 16,790,875 x.log Best Regards Andy Schmidt Phone: +1 201 934-3414 x20 (Business) Fax: +1 201 934-9206 This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
