Full Discussion: Delete syslog but size disk can't increase
Operating Systems Solaris Delete syslog but size disk can't increase Post 302708183 by jim mcnamara on Monday 1st of October 2012 07:19:47 AM

Try this first:
syslogd responds to the SIGHUP signal.
So, edit the entries in the /etc/syslog.conf to direct to another file eg /someplace/log/syslog instead of the current setting. After that,
Code:
kill -HUP <pid of syslog daemon>

to "reinitialize" the config


If that does not meet your needs then:
This stops the sylogd process, which is not a good idea longterm
Code:
svcadm disable svc:/system/system-log:default

Delete files, edit the syslog.conf file to suit your needs. Since the log is filling up fast you might want to turn of some of the less useful messaging.
Turn syslog back on
Code:
svcadm enable svc:/system/system-log:default
