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)

cmannotifyd
cmannotifyd(8) CMAN Notification Daemon cmannotifyd(8)
NAME
cmannotifyd - CMAN Notification Daemon
SYNOPSIS
cmannotifyd [-f] [-d]
DESCRIPTION
The cmannotifyd daemon talks to CMAN and provides a mechanism to notify external entities about cluster changes.
CMAN dispatches 3 kind of notifications:
- CMAN_REASON_TRY_SHUTDOWN when cman requests to all clients if it is allowed to shutdown.
- CMAN_REASON_STATECHANGE when cman detects a node joining or leaving the cluster.
- CMAN_REASON_CONFIG_UPDATE when a configuration change event has been detected/requested.
These notifications are then dispatched to the shell script cman_notify in the environment variable CMAN_NOTIFICATION.
cman_notify will then execute all the scripts in the configured notification directory (default: /etc/cluster/cman-notify.d) passing a very
minimal set of envvars including, of course, the CMAN_NOTIFICATION= type. The execution order is set by the filename as shown by "LC_ALL=C
ls -las".
cmannotifyd logs are stored in the default log file (/var/log/cluster/cmannotifyd.log).
cman_notify logs are stored in the default log file (/var/log/cluster/cman_notify.log). By default the output from the scripts executed by
cman_notify is redirected to /dev/null. Users can either set CMAN_NOTIFICATION_DEBUG=1 in their environment or set proper debug configura-
tion in cluster.conf to redirect scripts output to the cman_notify log file.
NOTES
cmannotifyd does not block on cman_notify nor check the exit status of the script.
Notifications are dispatched in the same order as they arrive, one by one.
CMAN_REASON_TRY_SHUTDOWN is passed to scripts for information only, they can not influence cman's decsion about whether or not to shut
down.
CMAN_REASON_STATECHANGE also implies CMAN_NOTIFICATION_QUORUM exported in the environment. CMAN_NOTIFICATION_QUORUM will be set to 1 (when
the node is part of a quorate cluster) or 0 (otherwise).
A template for cman_notify scripts can be found in the doc/ directory.
OPTIONS
-f Run in the foreground (do not fork / daemonize).
-d Enable debug output.
