how to locate syslog on AIX machine
Question
I have a machine that does not have the syslog in the usual place. How would I go about locating it?
Solution
Start with:
man syslogd
and go from there.
Or are you saying that /etc/syslog.conf
is not there.
If it is there, it should be able to tell you where all the log files are. If it's not there, you need to find out how syslogd
was run, either:
- by looking at its entry from
ps
; or - looking at the
/etc/rc.d
entry that started it.
