SYSLOG v1.00 DOCUMENTATION
Solid Oak Software Inc.
Purpose of program:
SYSLOG is a small memory resident ( TSR ) program, that allows the user
to maintain a daily log file of activities that take place on his computer.
SYSLOG will automatically keep a record of all programs run, files copied,
files deleted, files created, and files opened, as well as the date and
time that each activity occured. SYSLOG has many potential used including
security, productivity, diagnostics, job costing, etc. All monitoring is
performed COMPLETELY in the background. The user will not even be aware of it.
SYSLOG uses only 7k of memory.
Operation:
SYSLOG is very simple to use. First of all, we recommend that it be
installed in a directory in your current dos path. Secondly, SYSLOG is date
and time sensitive, so the date and time must be set to the current values
prior to running the program.
YOU MUST CREATE A DIRECTORY CALLED C:\SYSLOG ON YOUR HARD DRIVE ( C: ).
This is done by typing MD\SYSLOG at the C: prompt.
It is recommended that you call SYSLOG from your autoexec.bat file.
SYSLOG creates a new log file for each day. All log files have the extention
SOS, are kept in the C:\SYSLOG directory. The file name is created from the
current date. For example SEPTEMBER 18, 1991 would generate the file name
09181991.SOS. This allows easy location of a particular file. The log files
created are simple ASCII files, and can be viewed with any editor or word
processor. Site license users will receive a special reader that will allow
the use of hidden log files.
SYSLOG has five possible optional command line parameters.
SYSLOG /o = Enable OPEN FILE ability. ( Can create VERY large log files )
SYSLOG /s = Silent mode. ( No loading message. User doesn't know it's loading)
SYSLOG /r = Produces READ-ONLY files that cannot be erased or edited.
SYSLOG /s = Produces HIDDEN files.
SYSLOG /d = Removes SYSLOG from memory.
ONLY OPTIONS /o and /d ARE AVAILABLE IN THE SHAREWARE VERSION.
Any ideas, or comments would be greatly appreciated.
