Package: sysklogd Version: 1.5-4 Gentlemen, please do on the Linux console: # mv /var/log/news /var/log/news1 # /etc/init.d/sysklogd reload-or-restart Reloading system log daemon.... #
The problem is there is an additional message about the now missing directory, /var/log/news, which is only sent to the console, and _not logged in any file_. You see the sysklogd designers never thought about logging messages about problems that occur in the starting or stopping of syslogd itself! Problems encountered when cron.daily etc. are run are usually logged by syslog -- except when syslog it itself being maintained momentarily -- then there is no process to log the messages of the logger! So please devise a workaround to also log these messages too. Perhaps save them up in a tmpfile and replay them into syslog when it is back up on its feet or something. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
