Re: syslog messges not updated
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.

Re: syslog messges not updated
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

Re: syslog messges not updated
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.

Re: syslog messges not updated
Check whether syslog daemon is running. If not running start the syslog service as
/sbin/init.d/syslogd start

Re: syslog messges not updated
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!

Re: syslog messges not updated
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

This is UNIX; not Windoz.
