Missing entries in log files just before/after reboot
Hello world,
One of the servers, a Fedora one,rebooted today (Luckily, a testbox).
I tried to get the reason the server rebooted. After going through the messages, I think that the log entries just before and after reboot are missing.
Please below: (****** is the server name, for privacy reason)
I understand there will be no logs during the reboot but, why exactly did the server reboot? I have two doubts:
1.Was the SNPD process with the error "missing ":" separator" the cause for reboot?
2. Why did rsyslogd run immediately aftyer the reboot? Can it help me trace the reboot cause?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi, all:

Under each, there are thousands of files.
It's quite obvious that there are some files missing in each. I just would like to find them. I believe this can be done by "diff" command.
However, if I change the above question a... (1 Reply)

LEARN ABOUT SUSE
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.
