I assume the real operators console incurs no such prohibitive overhead. SDSF, likewise should have an event-driven ROLL mode, rather than clock driven. The SYSLOG driver should broadcast a signal that SDSF could monitor to trigger a refresh.
As a compromise, the SYSLOG driver could maintain a record count in a common storage location. SDSF could poll this frequently at minimal resource expense, and perform the more costlly refresh only when it changes. Or keep SYSLOG in a UNIX file. Display utilities could stat() this file to determine when a refresh is needed. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
