Service Virtualization

For LISA/Devtest All log files which are getting logged as root with restricted permissions. By default is their any configuration setting through which we can make that the logs folder or each logs file get created automatically with 777 or 577 as permission?

You could change the location of lisatmpdir :

Above link is directing the logs but its not referring to my original question as how to change the permissions to the created log files.

If on Linux you can do this command:

chmod -R 775 <lisatmp folder>

On Windows bring up file explorer, right-click on your lisatmp folder, choose Security tab, highlight Users in the Group or user names box, choose Full control and Modify for the Permissions for Authenticated Users, chooser OK.

Hope this helps.

Our VSE in linux.  Above chmod command works for the existing files in logs folder but when new log files get created still it will be created with restricted permission and not 775 right? Please clarify.

I should also take into account new log files.  Once you do the folder and subfolders, it will be for all existing folders and new ones.

Hi Manish,

Not an answer to your specific question but maybe contributing to the root cause of your problem ....

It appears you are running your DevTest processes as root? For all the linux DevTest installations I have assisted with we always used a technical linux group and technical linux user to install and run the software. Hence we never had issues with log or other files created as root for which we had no rights to manipulate.

The only attention point is if you want to start the DevTest processes automatically at boot time - i.e. the /etc/init.d scripts. Because these scripts are executed by user root, so you cannot run the scripts straight from here but instead your init.d script can use the command "daemon -u <technicalUser> /<yourDevTestInstallDir>/bin/RegistryService"

Cheers,

Danny

You can try to use umask to set the default permissions for new files, but that will be valid for all new files being created under that user, not only DevTest log files.
