| 9931.1 | also /var/adm/syslog.dated deleted | BACHUS::CUYT | | Mon May 26 1997 10:50 | 7 |

I also noticed already that from time to time not only syslogd has
disappeared, but also all directories in /var/adm/syslog.dated
Any ideas ???

| man signal.4 shows that signal 15 is SIGTERM - Software termination
signal. Is it possible that someone on your system is deliberately
stopping syslogd and deleting the directories?

| 9931.3 | cron removes dirs automatically | NNTPD::"[email protected]" | Brian Haley | Tue May 27 1997 14:25 | 13 |
| Hi,
root's crontab entry automatically removes "old" directories:
40 4 * * * find /var/adm/syslog.dated -depth -type d -ctime +5 -exec rm -rf {}
\;
You should comment out the line if you want to keep everything forever, just
remember you did this in case your disk starts to get full and you wonder
why :-)

| 9931.4 | suspect crontab entry | BACHUS::CUYT | | Thu May 29 1997 06:12 | 7 |

Thanks for your replies, but I suspect the entry in the crontab, as
mentioned in .3, from doing what I see. I already noticed that
syslogd and /var/adm/syslog.dated were disappeared.
