syslog and syslogd, if there are system errors.

What version of UNIX are you on? Sounds like Linux.

Generally you edit etc/syslog.conf, which controls what messages get logged and where they are written. See the man page for syslogd so you get the messages you need. send SIGHUP to the syslogd process so it will read the syslog.conf file changes.

syslog

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.
