Hi all, Logging into syslog.dated seems to have stopped on my 5.1B system on Feb 17th at around 11.27am: # ls -l /var/adm/syslog.dated/ total 2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root adm 512 Feb 15 11:26 15-Feb-11:26 drwxr-xr-x 2 root adm 512 Feb 16 11:27 16-Feb-11:27 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root adm 12 Feb 16 11:27 current -> 16-Feb-11:27 # ls -l /var/adm/syslog.dated/current/ total 10040 -rw-r----- 1 root adm 60627 Feb 17 11:24 auth.log -rw-r----- 1 root adm 317782 Feb 17 11:27 daemon.log -rw-r----- 1 root adm 10598 Feb 17 11:15 kern.log -rw-r----- 1 root adm 745 Feb 16 18:20 lpr.log -rw-r----- 1 root adm 9855365 Feb 17 11:27 mail.log -rw-r----- 1 root adm 7697 Feb 17 11:27 syslog.log -rw-r----- 1 root adm 0 Feb 16 11:27 user.log syslogd is running: # ps -ef | grep syslogd root 581 1 0.0 Jan 14 ?? 14:54.54 /usr/sbin/syslogd -e plenty of disk space: # df -k /var Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/disk/dsk0d 1969183 940584 831680 54% /var What could cause this? What is it that causes the logs to rotate anyway? I cant see anything in root's crontab to do this. Is it time for a reboot? Also, when I look at /etc/syslogd.conf, it seems to be set up to log into the wrong place - shouldnt stuff be going into /var/adm/syslog.dated/current/... and not /var/adm/syslog.dated/...
