The dumping of old data to a gz file is done by a cron script about midnight. The same script also deletes sufficiently-old gz files, I believe.
But it sounds like it is NOT telling the syslog daemon to reinitialize.
Try this command:
killall -HUP syslogd
I tried yopur advice, and it has startet logging again. Thanks for your help:-)
If that takes care of the problem, then investigate your cron configuration, along with /etc/logfiles, to see why that action doesn't happen automatically.
If it stops again, I will have to go deeper into this. mvh... Morten Christensen -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
