Hi admins,
Since today, my syslog.dated directory has disapeard and I
recreated It by hand. Meanwhile, I got 2 answers from
Nikola Milutinovic which says
No idea. Saw this on AltaVista Firewall, which uses /var/adm/syslog/*
and Freesmeyer, Mary who says :
syslog.dated is a directory, owned by root, group admin permissions 755.
Under that are directories with the date/time stamp(dd-Mmm-HH:MM), again
root/admin/755. Check your cron jobs to see if there is something there
with a typo. These directories only keep about 8 days and a "current"
soft
link to the current date's directory. After the directory (syslog.dated)
is
created, you may be able to get today's back by just sending mail or
printing something with lpr.
So I tried to print something and also to send mails (Thanks
Mary's tip) but nothing happend in syslog.dated and it is
still a empty directory.
I had also a look to crontab which shows
15 4 * * * find /var/preserve -mount -mtime +7 -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
20 4 * * * find /tmp -mount -type f -atime +2 -exec rm -f {} \;
30 4 * * * find /var/tmp -mount -type f -atime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;
40 4 * * * find /var/adm/syslog.dated -depth -type d -ctime +5 -exec rm
-rf {} \;
Can anyone enlighten me about this situation.
I'm uner Digital UNIX V4.0F.
JEAN
