does syslog actually stop, or does it just lose its fd? "/etc/rc.d/syslogd status" should tell you. if it is still running, and just not updating the log file anymore, then stop and restart it. seems sometimes it doesnt get restarted properly when the logrotate program rotates it. i have hella problems with this on the mail log. i havent had time to try to track the bug down yet, but the logrotate seems to be the most likely cause. -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Product Development www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Thu, 13 Apr 2000, Togan Muftuoglu wrote:
Hi everyone,
I have just figured out that I can not have any information on what's going on in the /var/log/messages. At first I thought they were all compressed first but then it did not make sense.
I have not done anything lately ie (install new programs remove old ones change suse config the naswer is no to all.
Can some one point to me where I should be checking to uncover the story ?
thx
