Use this utility to monitor trace messages from local or remote instances of Natural Access Server (ctdaemon), set a global trace mask, and log trace messages to a file.
Note: The rtrace utility is available under Linux and Solaris only.
rtrace [options]
where options are the following values:
|
Option |
Use this option to... |
|
-? or -h |
Access Help and terminate rtrace. |
|
-@ host_name |
Specify the name or IP address of the server to monitor. If unspecified, the default is localhost. |
|
-f filename |
Specify the name of a file to maintain a log of trace messages. |
When rtrace starts up, it connects to the specified server and waits for trace messages. All of the received messages are displayed and optionally logged to the specified file. Press Q or Esc to exit from rtrace.
To run rtrace, Natural Access Server (ctdaemon) must be running. If Natural Access Server (ctdaemon) disconnects from rtrace because of a system restart or failure, rtrace waits for Natural Access Server (ctdaemon) to restore the connection.
To run rtrace:
Enter the following command at the prompt:
rtrace [-@ host_name] [-f filename]
For example, if you enter:
rtrace -@ localhost -f trace.log
rtrace connects to localhost and begins logging messages to trace.log.
