basically I do roll-over once a day.. (it's done automatically) I have not set any limitation on files otherwise that what I can't understand.. why does it keep restarting itself? I don't quite believe this is normal behavior.. and I got to find out what's causing this problem and fix it... i see this nearly every time when syslogd: restarted Sep 25 04:00:00 box /usr/sbin/cron[61904]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Sep 25 04:00:00 box /usr/sbin/cron[61905]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /usr/local/mrtg-2/mrtg.cfg) Sep 25 04:00:00 box /usr/sbin/cron[61906]: (bin) CMD (perl /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/cleancache.pl) Sep 25 04:00:00 box syslogd: restart here it restart 3 times in the row Sep 25 05:00:00 box /usr/sbin/cron[62012]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Sep 25 05:00:00 box /usr/sbin/cron[62013]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /usr/local/mrtg-2/mrtg.cfg) Sep 25 05:00:00 box /usr/sbin/cron[62014]: (bin) CMD (perl /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/cleancache.pl) Sep 25 05:00:00 box syslogd: restart Sep 25 05:00:11 box syslogd: restart Sep 25 05:00:21 box syslogd: restart any ideas? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edwin Groothuis" <edwin@mavetju.org> To: "alexus" <ml@db.nexgen.com> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 9:15 PM Subject: Re: syslogd: restart > On Tue, Sep 25, 2001 at 09:02:28PM -0400, alexus wrote: > > su-2.05# grep restart /var/log/all.log > > Sep 25 00:00:11 box syslogd: restart > > .... > > Sep 25 21:00:21 box syslogd: restart > > su-2.05# grep -c restart /var/log/all.log > > 52 > > su-2.05# > > > > any ideas why woudl syslogd restart on his own 50 times a day? > > If you rotate log-files (because they're too big or too old), you > create the log-file again and syslog should be informed that it > should write to the new file.
