/var/log/boot.log doesn't exist???

big_gie · 12-28-2004, 09:44 AM

Hi,

On bootup, I get some errors about some shared libraries and it seems that it affects one of my program.

I wanted to check in /var/log/boot.log to see if I could get more info, but the log file is empty!!! There is /var/log/boot.log.1 but the last entry is from a week ago...

What could be wrong??

Thank you very much

/var/log/boot.log is not created (touch /var/log/boot.log)

/var/log/messages is empty...

I found a 4 boot log file in /var/log/..

Quote:

[root@admin-3 da]# cd /var/log/boot.log
boot.log boot.log.1 boot.log.2 boot.log.3 boot.log.4

But the doesn´t contain any content. all of them are absolutely empty.

How can I see the boot.log message after booting.

I really appreciate your help.
