[Info-vax] Logging image activations

[Jan-Erik Söderholm]

Now, I have an old systems with a large amount of
applications images (EXE's). I'd like to know/log
in some way what EXE's are (still) in use.

I guess one could enable image-logging in the accounting
but that would also log COPY.EXE and and so on, right ?

One could add some logging to the code itself, but that
implies rebuilding all EXE's which I'd prefer not to do.

I have searched for some by-file (or better by-directory)
logging to enable, but not comed up with something usable.

I also thought about some routine scanning through the
processes and log the active/running image, but that would
be "polling" and one might miss some short activations.

Hm, maybe some ACL on the files to enable auditing of
"execute" access ? That would be easy to add to the files
anyway, I'm not sure about how easy it is to get reports.
Maybe some mangling of the ANA/AUD output would do...

Any thoughts ?

Maybe image loggin in accounting is the easiest and make
sure to make a "set acc/new" regulary (and run some ACC
reports to list the images)...
