As the root user, you can save log files in a local or system directory. Saving a log file ensures that the file is not cleared if the root user clears the log files. For information about clearing log files, see "Clearing log files."
To save a log file
1. Click Application Starter, Applications, System, Event Viewer.
2. Choose a log file from the Log File list.
3. Click the Save Filtered Log File button.
4. Choose a directory location from the Look In list box.
5. Double-click the folder in which you want to save the file.
6. Type the filename in the File Name box.
Note
Regular users can also save log files in their home directory, or in directories where they have write permission. For information about setting directory permissions, see "Setting directory permissions."
