syslog

Hi all,

OS : solaris 9 .

/var/log is the location it generates logfiles with name syslog , syslog.0 , syslog.1 up syslog.7 and it will delete the files after syslog.7 the old files but in my case i dont find any logfile in the /var/log location. This issues arises after some abnormal shutdown to the server before everything working as normal.
Any help or pointer to check the cause of the issue.

Regards

NAME
fasthalt - Halts the system SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/fasthalt [-lnq] DESCRIPTION
The fasthalt command halts the system and flags a subsequent reboot to skip the execution of fsck. The program creates the fastboot file, then invokes the halt program. The system start-up script contains instructions to look for the fastboot file. If present, the script removes the file and skips the invocation of the fsck command. If the command is invoked without the -l, -n, or -q flag, the halt program logs the shutdown using the syslogd command and places a record of the shutdown in the login accounting file, /var/adm/wtmp. Using the -q and the -n flags imply the -l flag. You must have root privileges to use this command. FLAGS
Does not log the halt using syslog. Prevents the sync before stopping, and does not log the halt using syslog. Causes a quick halt, does not log the halt using syslog, and makes no attempt to kill all processes. FILES
