Re: Creating IFS Files

Mike,

I create the log files for tomcat in a startup shell script. I did this
to get the right CCSID but it should work for you.

cygwin=false
os400=false
case "'uname'" in 
  CYGWIN*) cygwin=true;;
  OS400*) os400=true;;
esac
...
if $os400; then
  touch -C 819 "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out
 # set your authority here
fi

All,

I have a bit of a problem.  I have a web application running in an
Apache
environment.  I have a class that creates a log file for specific
information when the web app is running.  I need to keep the code
platform
neutral.  This creates a new log file each day.  My problem is with
file
authorities.  When the new file is created each day, the authorities
are set
to *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE and QTMHHTTP *RW.  When the normal Apache logs are
created daily, the authorities are *PUBLIC *RWX, QTMHHTTP *RWX,
HBSPGMR
*RWX.  I need the log files I create in the class to have the same
authorities as the Apache server log files.  I also need this to be
platform
neutral -- so I can not use iSeries specific classes.

Any ideas/examples?
