HP-UX

Hi,
I want to get all of the syslog,which is under the catalogue of var/adm/syslog,in order to do something about correlation analysis.
But for days,I can not find anything about that,who can help me?
Thank you very much!

syslog.log is a file. It gets rotated out through a sequence of names, if log rotation has been set up (I made these names up because I do not know what your sysadmin did):

Code:

syslog.log is the current file
syslog.0  
syslog.1
syslog.....syslog.n

I do not know how your sysadmin set up log rotatation. Plus the sysadmin can specify that syslog is named something else. If you have no rotation or toher setups the syslog.log file gets overwritten at bootup. And so it is usually really large.


What is your problem, do you get an error? Unless your sysadmin is really paranoid, all of those logs should be readable. Please post the command you used and the output or error.

By default there is no syslog rotation.

Every time you restart syslog (or machine for that matter), syslogd (/sbin/init.d/syslogd) init script will mv the current syslog to OLDsyslog.log in /var/adm/syslog/ directory, and create a new one.

Hope that helps

Please rephrase post #1 in better English. The post does not make sense. Can you post and example?

Please mention what version of HP-UX you have.
Are you a trained administrator or someone new to HP-UX?

Please give examples of what you want to know. We still do not understand your question.

If you have a support contract, it may be easier to talk to HP in your own language.
