Good day all,
As in my previous posts, I have been having trouble with weblet displaying
the log files. Charles Steinkuehler has pointed me in the right direction
and I hope someone with more experience with uClibc may be able to help me
close this off.
The problem was discovered when I was viewing my log files in weblet. It
seemed that sometimes it would work and other times I would get an error
stating that the log files were not readable. Charles suspected (rightly)
that it had something to do with permissions. As you can see below, I
checked the log file permissions using ls -l command after booting the
router. after an hour or so, I checked the logs with weblet and all was
working fine. Next night, I go to check the logs again with weblet and get
the error file is unreadable. I again check the permissions using ls -l and
find that most of the permissions have been changed. I reboot the router
and check again, all are set correctly again.
How do I track down which process is making this change and why?? From the
addition of the extra log files I suspect that this may be happening during
log file rotation but how do I confirm this?
