Good information guys! I knew about less decompression and use that a
lot. I should have been clearer that the zcat usage was so I could grep
for something in a compressed (and normally large) syslog archive.
I like Rusty's explanation of logrotate because I have looked at it in the
past and cou

idn't see any binary junk - it decompressed them
for me. YMMV!

Its not a matter of time but of file size. Apparently gzip has (or had)
some limitation it needed to honer before the file got to the limit.
BTW, I found the easoest way to grep for something in one of the compressed
archives was to use something like
zcat /var/log/syslog.2.gz | grep cron | les
But you seem to have done that part allready. You can check timestamps to
get a real sense of time logged.

So I get it it saves a total of 8 logs 6 of which are compressed and so
how long is each log a record of? From my inspection of the log it seems as
if it covers a little more than a day. Teach mw about this! I'm all ears!

you guys are so helpful. Well, there is a /var/log/syslog and syslog.1 but
after that it is syslog.2-7.gz, not 'z'. Does that sound right? Which is
the most recent?

Sometimes the WAP decides it doesn't want to connect to me anymore and I
have to bounce my wireless connections to get it to pick up again. Totally
my WAP's fault, but meh, I've too lazy to replace it.

You'll see network manager reeling usually, or accompanying iwl* (intel)

You should see syslog.0, syslog.1, etc. (possibly with .z on the end).
Those are your older logs.

it was the syslog one. Thanks. It seems that the log is restarted at
reboot. But how do I look at the mesages earlier than today? Hmm
this is interesting! There is a cron job that runs hourly! The syslog line
says:
CRON[<>]: (root) CMD (cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourl
/var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog i think.
