First thing I would do I change the syslog.conf file and point the

There is no "correct" location. Where the sysadmin wants it is the
correct location.

See if that
makes any differance.
*.* /var/log/all.log
Then touch /var/log/all.log to allocate it and chmod 600
/var/log/all.log to make it work.

Sorry! Didn't mean to be snappy, I thank you for your level head.
Basically, this is what is happening the syslog.conf file has the
line for all.log to be activated in the directory I chose, which is
/usr/log. I know for certain that if I stop and restart the syslogd
daemon, it will start writing to all.log and then after few minutes,
it will stop and that is it. I have my FTPD daemon setup to record
all FTP activity but that is not happening. Please tell me running
FTPD as daemon is not the cause or should I run FTP as a service. I
have a lot of load due to FTP. Thanks for your help!!!

Whoa now. No need for us all to get snappy. Bottom line, what you
posted
isn't much help, and without knowing anything about your
system/setup, it's
very difficult to offer solutions.
First things first, are you sure that syslogd stops working after
only 2
minutes? Syslogd only chews on the processor when it has something
to do.
Showing up as only running for 2 minutes when you run ps shouldn't
be a
concern; that is the total CPU time and syslogd doesn't need much
time to
get the job done on most systems.
If you're certain that it isn't logging events that it should: did
you make
ever make any modifications to /etc/syslog.conf? If so, comment out
(put a
# at the start of the line) the lines with the most recent changes.
Restart
syslogd. If it works, uncomment out one line and restart syslogd.
Keep
doing that until you narrow down what causes syslog to suspend
operations.
Let us know if you find out anything.

Well, I will disregard your harsh comments. What I am trying to do

my FTP activity be logged in all.log. If you look at my FTP
command it should
be logging whole lot of information and my syslogd command should
allow
syslogd to continue writing without any delay. As for cron
command, that just
got copied with the rest. If you think what I pasted is
meaningless, your
common sense should have given you an indication to what I am
looking for,
just read the heading. Thank You!!

That's all very nice, but how about a explanation of
what your are trying to do with logging and what
cron has to do with things.
With no background info what you posted is meaningless.

I have been trying to find out why my system stops recording in
the
log files after few minutes. It will log if restart my syslogd
daemon but then stops recording. I am pasting the commands and all
relevant information below. Please advise, I need the log
information!!! Thanks,
