Maintenance to be done manually – in part
Because the local disk wasn’t available (no notion why, yet) saving the logfiles of June didn’t work as planned so I have to do that by hand. No big deal.
The mail statistics for June show a huge amount of messages – including a huge amount that are rejected – because I have added these rules to the PMAS configuration:
PMAS statistics for June
Total messages : 16187 = 100.0 o/o
DNS Blacklisted : 0 = .0 o/o (Files: 0)
Relay attempts : 24 = .1 o/o (Files: 18)
Accepted by PMAS : 16163 = 99.8 o/o (Files: 30)
Handled by explicit rule
Rejected : 13511 = 83.5 o/o (processed), 83.4 o/o (all)
Accepted : 113 = .6 o/o (processed), .6 o/o (all)
Handled by content
Discarded : 2041 = 12.6 o/o (processed), 12.6 o/o (all)
Quarantained : 279 = 1.7 o/o (processed), 1.7 o/o (all)
Delivered : 219 = 1.3 o/o (processed), 1.3 o/o (all)
but for some reason, it doesn’t always work, some messages still come through.
Today, there was another power failure, just before 12:00 local time (9:55 system time – which us set to UCT, no DST) and this offer the opportunity to re-enable the local disk so I should be able to do the savings that did not occur on July 1st: Created a procedure to do just that, from the save_Logs procedure, except it won’t submit itself and contains a restriction on moving files into the archive: All before first of current month.
But there is another thing that is found in scanning logfiles: There seems to be problem with the ODS-5 structure on some files on Webdisk2 – which uses a disk container. It goes back to 3-Aug-2018 where the same message arose. But it is pretty harmless: The command that writes these (information) messages is ”
$ backup/interchange/log SYS$MANAGER:'fn'_done'fv'.log -
web_disk2:[private.operator]'fn'_done'fv'.txt
help on backup / interchange tells the story:
BACKUP
/INTERCHANGE
Directs BACKUP to process files in a manner suitable for data
interchange (software distribution) by excluding information that
would prevent other utilities or sites from reading the BACKUP
save set.The /INTERCHANGE qualifier implies /CONVERT when the input is
an ODS-5 disk or file. (You can also specify /NOCONVERT with the
/INTERCHANGE qualifier.)
Forgot about that – so it’s normal.
