What type of system are you using ??
Do you roll you syslog ??

On all the HP-UX systems I help manage, we roll the syslogs each morning ...
Code:
[/]# cat /usr/local/bin/movesyslogs.cron
#!/bin/ksh
#==========================================================================
# script:  movesyslogs.cron
#
# Notations:
# dd/mm/yy  Who  Comment...................................................
#
# 04/10/05  JIM  Initial script.
#                Rotates and archives Syslog. mails syslog for checking.
#
#==========================================================================

. $HOME/.profile

SCRIPTUSER=`whoami`


#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SYSLOG Email.

echo "-----------------------------------------------------"
echo "- MAIL SYSLOG TO OPS_REPORTS - ($OPS_REPORTS)"
echo "-----------------------------------------------------"

#mailx -s "`hostname` syslog report" hp@adomain.com < /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
cat  /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log | \
      grep -v -e "not reverse" -e "Received disconnect" -e "Connection closed" \
              -e "registrar/tcp: Connection from" | \
      mailx -s "`hostname` syslog report" $OPS_REPORTS
$SCRIPTDIR/movelogs.sh /var/adm/syslog/\*  $SYSLOGARCHIVE

You may have a similar $SYSLOGARCHIVE set up on your system.

Hope this helps some. Smilie

Cheers,
Cam

SYSLOG(8)                                                         System Logging                                                         SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
