<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
One line of syslog.conf is like this:<br />
*.err;kern.debug;daemon.no<wbr />tice;mail.<wbr />crit;user.<wbr />none &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/var/adm/messages<br />
My problem is:<br />
1. If I do a &nbsp; &nbsp;logger -p daemon.notice &quot;test message&quot;<br />
I will get a &quot;test message&quot; in /var/adm/messages<br />
2. If I do a cd /tools/abc ( /tools is an automount point and abc doesn't exist under /tools ) I didn't get any error message which this message would show up before and besides some other machine's messages file will imediately show the error messages like &quot;automountd[135]: mount of /tools/abc failed&quot; .<br />
<br />
I tried to cycle the syslogd many times but didn't help at all.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the help.<br />

syslog doesn't log

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
