Logging Stops after few minutes

2005-06-29 Thread Dixit, Viraj


 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,

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.

Well, I will disregard your harsh comments. What I am trying to do is have all 
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!!

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.

RE: Logging Stops after few minutes

2005-06-29 Thread Dixit, Viraj
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!!!

RE: Logging Stops after few minutes

2005-06-29 Thread fbsd_user

First thing I would do I change the syslog.conf file and point the
the log to the correct location. /var/log/all.log 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.

Re: Logging Stops after few minutes

2005-06-29 Thread James Riendeau
First let's be sure that syslogd is not logging at all.

Try this:

$ sudo tail -n10 /var/log/messages
Enter your password
$ su
Enter anything (an incorrect password)
$ sudo tail -n10 /var/log/messages

If the somewhere in the last few lines of the messages log you see a message
that there was a BAD SU attempt, syslogd is working fine.  Then we have to
look at the syslog settings for ftp (or whatever isn't logging).

If that didn't work, just for kicks try stopping syslogd if it's running
(started), moving it to .old, and rebuilding a replacement.

(Hopefully this is typo-free)
# /etc/rc.d/syslogd stop
# mv /usr/sbin/syslogd /usr/sbin/syslogd.old
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/syslogd
# make
# make install
# /etc/rc.d/syslogd start

Note that you will probably have to do make and make install as two separate
commands (without a clean).  That may or may not do anything useful.  If it
does, you might want to do some hard drive checks to make sure things are in
good order.  Also, I trust that you are using /etc/rc.d/ to start and stop
system processes.

If that doesn't work, what does:

ps -waux | grep syslogd

Output?  Also, if possible, send me a copy of the /etc/syslog.conf file.

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,
