2.Type the syslogd command.

#syslogd

The syslogd command displays the most recent messages generated by the system.

2.8.2Viewing the System Message Log Files

The error logging daemon, syslogd, automatically records various system warnings, errors, and faults in message files. These messages can alert you to system problems such as a device that is about to fail.

The /var/adm directory contains several message files. The most recent messages are in the /var/adm/messages file. After a period of time (usually every ten days), a new messages file is automatically created. The original contents of the messages file are rotated to a file named messages.1. Over a period of time, the messages are further rotated to messages.2 and messages.3, and then deleted.

1.Log in as superuser.

2.Type the following command.

#more /var/adm/messages

3.If you want to view all logged messages, type this command.

#more /var/adm/messages*
