The Question is:
I need to create a shared object that can be accessed by Oracle to run system
commands. The key here is that everything about the command must be logged.
The windows implementation allows me to redirect "stdout" to a file. Then I
can use "cout" or "pri
ntf" to log the command and the time it began and ended. Then, using the C
"system" function, I can run the command and any output from that command also
gets logged to the logfile. In VMS, however, the scope of the redirection of
SYS$OUTPUT does not ex
tend back into the program. After the LIB$SPAWN command to redirect SYS$OUTPUT
to a file, the LIB$SPAWN command exits and returns to the program. The
remaining lines of code do NOT use the redirected SYS$OUTPUT. (I have
attempted to do this with LIB$SE
T_LOGICAL also but could not make that work)
I would like to know how to redirect SYS$OUTPUT in the begining of a C program
and use that redirection for the entire program (including "printf" output).
Thank You,
david
The Answer is :
Please see topic (5753) for a related discussion of I/O redirection.
Use image accounting or OpenVMS security auditing, as these tools can
likely log the various times of interest for you automatically.
Alternatively, create subroutine which creates a process running DCL,
and then pass commands to it via a mailbox, and log the required time
and associated information.
If you want a hack, create a small DCL command procedure that executes
the designed command in the target process context -- the command can
be passed via parameter -- and that also logs the desired information.
(Or you could pass in the "prefix" and "suffix" commands around the
target command via the mailbox.)
The C system call and lib$spawn create new subprocesses, and the process
context is typically entirely local to the new subprocess, unless sharing
is explicitly requested. You can configure the subprocess to run entirely
asynchronous to the parent, or you can have the parent wait for the
subprocess to complete.
