Startup Command and Parameter Reference

> ## Number of Log Files to Keep (-numlogfiles)

> Use Number of Log Files to Keep (`-numlogfiles`) to specify the total number of rolled over log files to keep on disk at any one time, across OpenEdge sessions, including the current log file.

> Operating system and syntax | UNIX Windows | `-numlogfiles` `n`
> Use with | Maximum value | Minimum value | Single-user default | Multi-user default
> Client Session | – | – | 3 | 3

> ``n``

> The number of log files to keep.

> Valid values are:

> - 0 — This means there is no limit on the number of log files to keep.

> - 2 or greater — The default is 3.

> If you specify a value of 1, a run-time error occurs and the OpenEdge process terminates.

> Use the Log Threshold (-logthreshold) startup parameter to specify the file size at which OpenEdge renames and saves log files.

> You also can use the `NUM-LOG-FILES` attribute on the `LOG-MANAGER` system handle to specify the number of log files to keep. For more information, see the OpenEdge Development: Progress 4GL Reference .
