5-4 Copying the Log Files to a Floppy Disk
This section describes the steps you must undertake in order to copy the all of the Senographe system
log files to a floppy disk. Since the floppy disk has a small capacity, many steps can be required to com-
press the log files and to copy them on multiple disks. Therefore, the preferred approach is to copy the
log files to a writable CR-ROM.
Note:
A floppy disk drive only exists on V1/V2 Control Stations. For V3/V4 Control Stations, you must
copy the log files using CD-R media.
Note:
Since the V3/V4 Control Station only has a CD-RW drive, you can only use the steps in this section
on a V1/V2 Control Station.
5-4-1 Access the Log Files
1. Start up the system in the usual way.
2. From behind the Browser, launch a command window (see
page 120).
3. Open another command window by entering:
xterm &
4. Change to the /export/home/sdc/senovision/logfiles directory where the log files exist, by entering:
cd /export/home/sdc/senovision/logfiles
5. List the log files in the /export/home/sdc/senovision/logfiles directory, by entering:
ls
The filenames of the different log files located in the /export/home/sdc/senovision/logfiles directory
appear.
5-4-2 Compress the Log Files
If the required files appear to be too large to fit on a floppy disk, they can be compressed as follows:
1. Create a temporary directory in the /export/home/sdc/senovision/logfiles directory in which log files
are to be compressed, by entering:
mkdir temp
2. Enter the following commands to copy the log files into the temporary (/export/home/sdc/senovision/
logfiles/temp) directory. The working directory must have been set to logfiles as described above.
Omit commands for log files which do not require compressing:
a. Copy the error.log file by entering:
cp error.log temp
b. Copy the ExamEvents.log file by entering:
cp ExamEvents.log temp
c. Copy the ImageMeasures.log file by entering:
cp ImageMeasures.log temp
d. Copy the SenoServer.log file by entering:
cp trace.SenoServer.log temp
e. Copy the trace.Positioner.log file by entering:
cp trace.Positioner.log temp
f. Copy the PoseidonEvents.log file by entering:
cp PoseidonEvents.log temp
g. If the error.log.back file exists, copy it by entering:
