syslog messges not updated

syslog messges not updating .kindly find the last line for syslog message

May 2 12:38:21 prod1 syslogd: going down on signal 15

[R.O.]

"syslogd: going down on signal 15"

The message is self-explanatory. The syslogd daemon died. Start it up:

#/sbin/init.d/syslogd start

And check whether ths syslog.log file has been updated.

Hey;

ps -ef | grep syslogd

If it's running, kill it. If not, or if you killed it, restart it:

/sbin/init.d/syslogd start

then test:

logger -p daemon.warn testing
tail /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Hi:

There are two classic ways this happens: (1) you moved (renamed) as in 'mv' the current 'syslog' file to another name; or (2) you modified the '/etc/syslog.conf' file and failed to use *tab* characters as delimiters.

Regards!

Hi Rajesh,

Check whether syslog daemon is running. If not running start the syslog service as

/sbin/init.d/syslogd start

Hi (again):

Oops, I read the "not updated" but not the "going down on signal 15". Signal-15 is simply a 'kill' or a 'kill -TERM'. Someone or some process terminated the logging.

Regards!

syslogd is not active on the system, it has been killed:

#restart will solve the issue:
check
ps -ef |grep -i syslogd

if not running then
/sbin/init.d/syslogd start

restart syslogd and see what happen. I met this situation before, restart syslogd did not solve the problem. unfortunately, I forgot how to deal with it.

If restart syslogd doesn`t work ,you may need to reboot the box.

Ferguson is right.


- check the restart of syslog ( /sbin/init.d/syslogd restart


- check the configurations of /etc/syslog.conf


And report :)
