My initial thought is to check the permissions? Did you edit the files as root? Does root write to those files, or is it another user? This could be the problem.

The /var/adm/messages in Solaris seem to log more system messages/errors compared to /var/log/messages in Linux.
I checked the log level in Linux and they seem OK.
Is there any other log file that contains the messages or is it just that Linux doesn't log great many things? (2 Replies)

SCROLLKEEPER-REBUILDDB(8) System Manager's Manual SCROLLKEEPER-REBUILDDB(8)
NAME
scrollkeeper-rebuilddb - rebuild the scrollkeeper document catalog database
SYNOPSIS
scrollkeeper-rebuilddb [-p path ] [-v] [-q]
DESCRIPTION
This rebuilds the ScrollKeeper database from the original OMF metadata files and documents. Under normal situations, this tool is not nec-
essary. It is useful however if the database becomes corrupt, which could be caused by interruption of ScrollKeeper during an update of
the database.
Errors and warnings are logged to /var/log/scrollkeeper.log.
OPTIONS
-p path
Use path as the ScrollKeeper database directory.
-v Verbose. Show warnings and error messages in addition to logging them to /var/log/scrollkeeper.log.
-q Run in quiet mode, suppressing output of all but the most serious warning and error messages to STDOUT. Note that most output to
the log file will be unchanged.
FILES
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/TOC/<docnumber>
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/<locale>/scrollkeeper_cl.xml
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/<locale>/scrollkeeper_extended_cl.xml
/var/log/scrollkeeper.log
