Hm... anyone want to look > into this possibility? Easy enough to modify. We'll just replace the fprint()s with syslog() calls. But is it truly necessary ? I don't see how it would be sub- stantially different than how the logging is done right now. Call me slow. =-) Also, which stats software are you referring to ? > Yes, waisq crashes on a regular basis, but to date, I have not > been able to personally reproduce this on demand!

Fortunately death due to signals are logged for us automagically... for instance: | Dec 5 01:13:45 freefall /kernel: pid 25242 (waisq), uid 32767: exited... | Dec 5 23:31:15 freefall /kernel: pid 26444 (waisq), uid 32767: exited... | Dec 5 23:31:15 freefall /kernel: pid 1008 (waisq), uid 32767: exited... Strangely enough I can't find any waisq entries since December 5, or any messages whatsoever since the 9th -- not even those annoying ones from popper. Anyone know why there aren't any entries since the last reboot ? It's now: Sat Dec 14 16:29:02 PST 1996 Yet we have: -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 0 Dec 14 03:30 messages I can't believe there's really zero messages in over 12 hours. =-) Regards, -Ade ------------------------------------------------------------------- Inet: mbarkah@hemi.com - HEMISPHERE ONLINE - -------------------------------------------------------------------
