syslog

Our old admin setup all of our syslogs to go to another server, however that server is no longer working. How do i redirect the output to go into each machines /var/adm/syslog?

The file you want to change is /etc/syslog.conf. After you make your changes,
cd /sbin/init.d
./syslogd stop
./syslogd start
and you should be good to go.

There is a safe copy in /usr/newconfig/etc/syslog.conf that you can copy to /etc and restore the default behavior but you still must stop and restart the daemon.

Man syslogd for details.

In /etc/syslog.conf as...

*.emerg@remote-server

Disregard last post as reply is exact inverse of what you want. in file /etc/syslog.conf do as follows...

*.emerg/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
