Operating Systems Linux Red Hat /var/log/messages and secure not updating Post 302300010 by z1dane on Monday 23rd of March 2009 12:01:15 AM

Hey indiana tas, thanks for the reply. I edited the files as root and root writes to these files. I think the problem might have been because I was editing the file at the same time the syslogd was trying to write to them.

I restarted the syslogd and messages and secure are being updated again, phew!

/var/adm/messages vs /var/log/messages

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)

Mojo::Log(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					    Mojo::Log(3pm)

NAME
Mojo::Log - Simple logger SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::Log; # Log to STDERR my $log = Mojo::Log->new; # Customize log file location and minimum log level my $log = Mojo::Log->new(path => '/var/log/mojo.log', level => 'warn'); # Log messages $log->debug("Why isn't this working?"); $log->info("FYI: it happened again"); $log->warn("This might be a problem"); $log->error("Garden variety error"); $log->fatal("Boom!"); DESCRIPTION
Mojo::Log is a simple logger for Mojo projects. EVENTS
Mojo::Log can emit the following events. "message" $log->on(message => sub { my ($log, $level, @messages) = @_; ... }); Emitted when a new message gets logged. $log->unsubscribe('message'); $log->on(message => sub { my ($log, $level, @messages) = @_; say "$level: ", @messages; }); ATTRIBUTES
Mojo::Log implements the following attributes. "handle" my $handle = $log->handle; $log = $log->handle(IO::Handle->new); Log file handle used by default "message" event, defaults to opening "path" or "STDERR". "level" my $level = $log->level; $log = $log->level('debug'); Active log level, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_LOG_LEVEL" environment variable or "debug". These levels are currently available: "debug" "info" "warn" "error" "fatal" "path" my $path = $log->path $log = $log->path('/var/log/mojo.log'); Log file path used by "handle". METHODS
Mojo::Log inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones. "new" my $log = Mojo::Log->new; Construct a new Mojo::Log object and subscribe to "message" event with default logger. "debug" $log = $log->debug('You screwed up, but that is ok'); Log debug message. "error" $log = $log->error('You really screwed up this time'); Log error message. "fatal" $log = $log->fatal('Its over...'); Log fatal message. "format" my $message = $log->format('debug', 'Hi there!'); my $message = $log->format('debug', 'Hi', 'there!'); Format log message. "info" $log = $log->info('You are bad, but you prolly know already'); Log info message. "is_level" my $success = $log->is_level('debug'); Check log level. "is_debug" my $success = $log->is_debug; Check for debug log level. "is_error" my $success = $log->is_error; Check for error log level. "is_fatal" my $success = $log->is_fatal; Check for fatal log level. "is_info" my $success = $log->is_info; Check for info log level. "is_warn" my $success = $log->is_warn; Check for warn log level. "log" $log = $log->log(debug => 'This should work'); Emit "message" event. "warn" $log = $log->warn('Dont do that Dave...'); Log warn message. SEE ALSO
