Configuring syslog.conf for Zdrcal

The Zdrcal utility logs calibration changes using syslog to put a message in the default /var/log/irisrda/messages file.

To put the messages in a separate file, do the following.

  1. Log in as root.
  2. Edit the /etc/vaisala/irisrda/syslog.conf file by adding the following at the end of the file: 
    # Log user.info messages to sigmet.log
user.info /var/log/irisrda/sigmet.log
  3. Send kill -hup to the syslogd process.
