logging stopped!
I run Slack 8.1 and i've never had any trouble with this version. It worked perfectly.
Now suddenly, all the logging activity has stopped abruptly on Oct 3. This includes: /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/proftpd.log /var/log/syslog /var/log/apache/access_log /var/log/apache/error_log Any clues as to why this might have happened?? Thanks Mux |
Is syslog running?
|
Is /var out of disk space ?
|
Mara:
syslogd is up and running, and i havn't done anything strange with in the past weeks and Markus: /var is on the / mounted partition, which has over 1 gb free. Any (really, any) ideas?? Thanks Mux |
Try this command as root and see if it restarts the syslog daemon:
kill -SIGHUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid` Always works for me when it stops logging for some reason. |
I did a
kill -SIGHUP 72 yet the syslog deamon refused to die...it continued with the exact same pid and time it was called. So I did a killall -9 syslogd, and started it manually. I later did a tail -f messages and found the STUPID mistake. Somehow my date is set to Oct 3 and my time also terribly wrong; maybe my battery is starting to die. I use that machine as a router so I never noticed it. Thanks to everyone all the same. Mux |
