Re: [Networker] daemon.raw

Davina,
    This is the first I have heard of this, thanks for the tip.  I have a 
follow on question: Is the log exactly the same as it used to be after it has 
been rendered (using either method)?  I have not upgraded to 7.4 yet and I am 
wondering how much I will need to change my scripts.
Thanks,
Kyle

Stan is correct, but if you just want to bring the daemon.log back you 
can do it with the following command:

         echo "print type: NSR log;
                     name: daemon.raw
         update runtime rendered log: /nsr/logs/daemon.log" \
| nsradmin -p nsrexecd -i -
