EasySpooler
Activity Log
The activity log is an optional log that records system activity on
the
EasySpooler server. If you set the tuning parameter act_log
to y,
the filter program (lpsfilt) writes
a record to the file activity_log for
use by system activity reporting programs that you develop. lpsfilt writes a record each time it is
invoked.
You can set the activity log parameters act_log,
act_killlog,
and act_logrollmax
on the General tab of the Global
Tuning Parameters page. See Global
Tuning Parameters for more information.

fields separated by colons:
