syslog.log

My syslog.log has not updated in over a month. Can I restart this without rebooting?

hi,

do:

# ps -ef|grep -i syslogd
to check if the daemon is running, if not
# /usr/sbin/syslogd -D
or
# /sbin/init.d/syslogd start
now monitor the syslog.log file to see if it is growing
# ps -ef|grep -i syslogd
to check again if the daemon is running.

regards.

Make sure that you create the files that syslog is trying to write to BEFORE you start the daemon, or it won't try to create them.

Also ensure that you only have TAB characters between fields and not a mixture of s and .
