I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. I've noticed my server has crashed twice in the past couple days.
From what I've gathered I should look at /var/log/messages for more info on crashes, but mine only has a bunch of restart logs for a date that doesn't make any sense (the server has only been up two weeks):
Code:
Apr 11 05:37:07 test1 syslogd 1.5.0#5ubuntu4: restart.
Apr 25 01:07:36 test1 syslogd 1.5.0#5ubuntu4: restart.
Apr 25 01:07:39 test2 syslogd 1.5.0#5ubuntu4: restart.
I also did "last -x" which at least let me know the culprit was ppp:
Code:

Where can I get a decent log for this or how can I set it up to log on the next crash. Thanks!
