Sorry! Didn't mean to be snappy, I thank you for your level head. Basically, this is what is happening the syslog.conf file has the line for all.log to be activated in the directory I chose, which is /usr/log. I know for certain that if I stop and restart the syslogd daemon, it will start writing to all.log and then after few minutes, it will stop and that is it. I have my FTPD daemon setup to record all FTP activity but that is not happening. Please tell me running FTPD as daemon is not the cause or should I run FTP as a service. I have a lot of load due to FTP. Thanks for your help!!! VJ

No need for us all to get snappy. Bottom line, what you posted isn't much help, and without knowing anything about your system/setup, it's very difficult to offer solutions. First things first, are you sure that syslogd stops working after only 2 minutes? Syslogd only chews on the processor when it has something to do. Showing up as only running for 2 minutes when you run ps shouldn't be a concern; that is the total CPU time and syslogd doesn't need much time to get the job done on most systems. If you're certain that it isn't logging events that it should: did you make ever make any modifications to /etc/syslog.conf? If so, comment out (put a # at the start of the line) the lines with the most recent changes. Restart syslogd. If it works, uncomment out one line and restart syslogd. Keep doing that until you narrow down what causes syslog to suspend operations. Let us know if you find out anything.
