No. As of bookworm, rsyslog is no longer installed by default, and there are no human-readable log files by default. https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#changes-to-system-logging Update: following Greg's help, I run 'apt install rsyslog' and 'service postfix restart', now mail.log has been working. 2024-11-29T18:27:50.514443+08:00 mgw postfix/postfix-script[61549]: starting the Postfix mail system 2024-11-29T18:27:50.522266+08:00 mgw postfix/master[61551]: daemon started -- version 3.7.11, configuration /etc/postfix Thanks a lot.

I found debian 12 has much difference than ubuntu. for example, mysql in debian 12 is not a default apt package, but in ubuntu 22 it is. and, as my last thread shows, debian 12 has no plain text logs by default. also the snap way is different than ubuntu. Just my limited experience. Thanks.
sudo question
Hello, In my bash shell script, when I say: sudo echo "something" >>/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps it could not run with the prompts: bin/mask.sh: line 18: /etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps: Permission denied but, if I just say: echo "something" >>/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps and run that script with the form of "sudo bin/mask.sh", it successes. Can you help me why the first sudo failed? Thanks.

where is mail.log
My OS is debian 12 without GUI. After I installed postifx by apt, I can't find the path to mail.log. the log file in /var/log doesn't exist. do you know where is my mail.log now? Thanks.

Package name question
Hello After I installed mysql 8.0 via apt install mysql-server, I tried to restart mysql server. I issued the following commands, systemctl restart mysql-server systemctl restart mysqld They got failed, no package was found. Then I run systemctl restart mysql it successed finally. My question is how I can know the installed package name rather than by guessing? Thanks

Greg gave you the answer.
What I do in this case is, I don't use sudo in the script. Instead I
run the script with sudo like Keith suggested. However, I add this to
the beginning of the script to gracefully exit:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Control our PATH
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$PATH
export PATH
if [[ "${UID}" -ne 0 ]]; then
Thank you for your support. That makes sense.
BTW, what’s the difference between [[ ]] and [ ] here? I know only the
latter.

Re: debian for limited ram
In addition to platform concerns, you'll have to figure out what you're running on this VPS, how to make it all fit within the available RAM (with or without swap), and which Debian version(s) support your applications. Do you think if it's suitable to run a apache2 + php7 server for my personal project (not wordpress)? Thank you in advance.

I tried "service crontab restart" and "dpkg --list |grep crontab", they have no help. crontab(1) is the name of the command that you use, as a user, to display or alter your personal crontab. The daemon (service) that runs your crontab jobs, however, is usually named "cron". Or possibly "crond" on some systems. hobbit:~$ ps -ef | grep cron root 826 1 0 Dec05 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cron -f greg 571361769 0 18:44 pts/14 00:00:00 man 1 crontab greg 571611765 0 18:44 pts/13 00:00:00 grep cron Given that the daemon's name is "cron", the service name is probably similar. Let's just take a guess that it's the same: Thanks Greg. Now it has been working after this command, sudo systemctl restart cron Regards.
