Hi,
I have an C++ application(logger.exe) running on my linux machine. This
application logs
all the information to a log file named trace.log. The owner and the group
of the files are as follows.
File name owner group user
========= ===== ===== ====
C++ application (logger.exe) root root root
trace.log root root root
The C++ application(logger.exe) and trace.log are having root as owner and
root as group.
When I open this trace.log with vi editor(redhat linux kernel 2.6) and save
during when the
application is running and edit it, the application stops logging to the
file no more logs are logged into the trace.log file even the application is
running. Why this behaviour?
But I created another user named test and changed the owner and group as
follows.
File name owner group user
========= ==== ===== ====
C++ application (logger.exe) test test test
trace.log test users test
Then log file continues to log even after editing the log file with vi
editor.
NOTE:But I want my application to run when the owner, group and user for
both the files as root.
Can somebody give pointers on this. Your comments will be appriciated.
Regds,
Ravi
