Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
can anyone explain this? |
| 4 |
|

I noticed today (15. January) that the /var/log/{messages,kern.log,etc.} |
| 6 |
files on a box were last touched on 22. November. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
sysklogd was in the rc-open /started/ state and was running. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The configuration file, /etc/syslog.conf matches completely that file on |
| 11 |
another machine of mine, where the logs are properly updated. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
/etc/syslog.d/ was empty on both machines. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I sent the process a HUP signal, as follows |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
sudo kill -HUP $(cat /var/run/syslogd.pid ) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
and all the log files were immediately updated and reporting. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I rebooted my machine, and the log files are untouched, it is again |
| 22 |
hibernating. |
