[OPEN-ILS-DEV] What do Unix log messages mean?

[Ben Shum]

I noticed that the local unix.log files being generated on each of our
servers keep repeating the same messages over and over.  Safely
ignorable or indication of big problems elsewhere?  What are the unix
log messages supposed to be telling us?

In open-ils.storage_unix.log, this message repeats endlessly:

** claims_never_checked_out_count() isn't there.  Please create me
somewhere (like in actor::user)!
** Error at OpenILS::Application::Storage::CDBI
(/openils/lib/perl5/OpenILS/Application/Storage/CDBI.pm), line 181
** Call Stack (5 deep):
**      OpenILS::Application::Storage::Publisher::action
(/openils/lib/perl5/OpenILS/Application/Storage/Publisher/action.pm),
line 1774
**      OpenILS::Application::Storage::Publisher::action
(/openils/lib/perl5/OpenILS/Application/Storage/Publisher/action.pm),
line 1428
**      Error::subs (/usr/share/perl5/Error.pm), line 416
**      Error::subs (/usr/share/perl5/Error.pm), line 408
**      OpenILS::Application::Storage::Publisher::action
(/openils/lib/perl5/OpenILS/Application/Storage/Publisher/action.pm),
line 1479
** Object type was actor::user

In open-ils.trigger_unix_log, I see this:

Use of uninitialized value $hint in string eq at
/openils/lib/perl5/OpenILS/Application/Trigger/Event.pm line 448,
<STDIN> line 1.
Use of uninitialized value $hint in string eq at
/openils/lib/perl5/OpenILS/Application/Trigger/Event.pm line 448.

Thanks,
