Icsmaster_YYYY-MM-DD: MCC Startup and Shutdown Error Log
Whenever the MCC system is shut down or started up, error messages are
recorded in this log file. The MCC reroutes stderr messages from all programs to
icsmaster_YYYY-MM-DD, adding color/status and date/time to the beginning of
some messages. This file cannot be the target of a LOG command. It can only be
viewed through the OS command line.
messages.log: Filtered Message Log
The Filtered Message log contains all the filtered messages from all hosts
attached to the MCC. It cannot be turned off, but can be the target of a LOG
statement:
LOG(LOG_FLT, $Msg)
The filtered message log can be viewed through the Unix command line, or
through the Filtered Messages window of the MCC GUI.
The format of the messages.log file is:
CYYYYMMDD HHMM [OS or script name]
message
Where C=Color/Status; YYYYMMDD=Year, Month, Date; HHMM=Hour,
Minute.
For example:
120070109 1848 Prod1

The status in this message is the leading 1. On January 9
th
2007 at 6:48 PM, the
