Don't worry about it. -- MARK -- is there to tell you that the sytem was up and runing. So with the marks you can see if your system has been down for example between1am and 5am. /Ingemar Debian User wrote: > My /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog files looks very strange. I &g

Trimming down of /var/log/messages

With time, the size of /var/log/messages keeps on growing, till it really becomes really huge, with information no longer needed. Since syslogd is constantly monitoring and writing on to it, I have never attempted initialising a fresh /var/log/messages on a running machine. Is there a recommended

Re: Followup: access to /var/log/messages

_ $ls -l /var/log/messages gets you -rw-r-1 root adm 78711 Sep 1 15:52 /var/log/messages which tells you that user root can read and write to this file, and anyone in the group adm can _read_ the file. No-one else can read it, either. A -- A

Followup: access to /var/log/messages

I usually add myself to the adm group. That way, I get access to the file /var/log/messages. You can use either adduser or usermod utilities. The latter can mess thigs up if you don't list your groups carefully -- read the man pages. Andrew, I used adduser adm and it worked like a charm

Not really debian related, but is there either a shell function or a perl function to put a line into /var/log/messages? (there must be- I just can't find it)... Or is it open( LOG, ">/var/log/messages" ); for me? :) (just a joke). Thanks! Jonathan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG pu

Thanks for the answers on this. It seems the top problem is due to the NT telnet client. Could someone recommend a decent telnet client for NT. It needs to be something that the techies at work won't be horrified by which usually means a proper uninstall routine for when I move offices. Patrick

Re: tail -f /var/log/messages and top

You can try setting the TERM environment variable to match your terminal; this is definitely needed from the awful windows telnet program. If you don't know which ones to try, try 'vt100' or 'vt220'. Carl

Re: tail -f /var/log/messages and top

Hi Patrick, as Stephan told, the "MARK"s are written by syslogd. top needs the "right" tty settings to work, because it uses control characters to refresh what it is displaying. I guess you invoked it in a somewhat misbehaving telnet session (maybe on a Windows machine). It should work in an xte
