.NXAM "error logging daemon" "elcsd.conf file"
The 
.PN elcsd
daemon logs hardware and system-related error packets, or error
messages, from the kernel errorlog buffer to the file
\f(CWsyserr.<\fIhostname\fP>\fR.  
Hostname is the name of the local system.  At
system startup, the 
.PN elcsd 
daemon is invoked out of 
.PN /etc/rc. 
For further information, see 
.MS rc 8 .
The 
.PN elcsd 
daemon must be running whenever the system is in multiuser
mode.
.PP
To invoke the 
.PN elcsd 
daemon in single-user mode, use the 
.pN eli 
command
with the
.B \-s 
option.  
.PP
You can configure the 
.PN elcsd 
daemon to log error packets locally from a
remote ULTRIX host, or you can configure the 
.PN elcsd 
daemon to send local error packets to a remote system.  Do this by
changing the entries in the 
.PN elcsd.conf 
file.  For further information, see 
.MS elcsd.conf 5 . 
The daemon uses an internet datagram socket to log information across
systems.
.PP
Parameters related to 
.PN elcsd ,
such as the desired location for the errorlog file or files, as well
as instructions for local and remote logging, can be specified in the
error logging configuration file, 
.PN /etc/elcsd.conf. 
For further information, see 
.MS elcsd.conf 5 .  
.SH Restrictions
You must have superuser privileges to invoke the 
.PN elcsd 
daemon.
.SH Diagnostics 
The 
.PN elcsd 
daemon logs general status and error messages to
.PN /usr/adm/elcsdlog 
in multiuser mode.  This file is purged whenever the
daemon is restarted.
