It just means the logfiles were copied and reopened so they could be compressed and to prevent individual logs from getting too big. The exact details and timing depends on your log rotation system and can vary from system to system. They're likely configurable.
It would make sense for .0 to come before .1, look at them with ls -l to see which came first.

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)
