Printing a Log File
To analyze your logs and to read what you are logging, you must print
your log files. To do this, use the LOGTOOL utility program. The
LOGTOOL utility runs under the online diagnostic system, and can be
invoked by entering SYSDIAG. When the diagnostic user interface prompt
(DUI>) appears, enter RUN LOGTOOL.
In order to print a log, issue the following:
1. :SYSDIAG
2. DUI>RUN LOGTOOL
3. LOGTOOL>LIST LOG=log# OUTFILE=LP
4. LOGTOOL>EXIT
5. DUI>EXIT
Enter HELP after the LOGTOOL prompt for more information. The STATUS
command reports on the status of all system log files.
The following example shows the use of the STATUS command in the sequence
of printing a log.

If you do not specify the OUTFILE parameter, the log prints on your
terminal screen. Typically this report is very long and ties up your
terminal for quite some time. If this does happen, you can enter CTRL Y
to break the process.
