Hi, welcome to LQ!
System process are usually logged at /var/log/syslog; same with the system messages you can query the logs concerning the process if there are some reports --
Code:
sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep <name of process application>
or you may get the tail 20 lines reports by
sudo tail -20 /var/log/syslog
Other applications keep their log reports in their own log file. You can examine
there you will find where common apps place their logs.
If you wish to short sight from the process listing whether the log switch is on or not you may examine if the " -l" switch follows the application list, at least that is a common way of switching although it is not always the case.
Hope that helps.
Good luck and enjoy.
