[snip logrotate info]
On a slightly different topic, I have found that some versions of 'less'
will automatically decompress compressed files to text. Or at least,
one time I mistakenly said 'less /var/log/syslog*' when some of them
were
Good information guys! I knew about less decompression and use that a
lot. I should have been clearer that the zcat usage was so I could grep
for something in a compressed (and normally large) syslog archive.
I like Rusty's explanation of logrotate because I have looked at it in the
past and
But you seem to have done that part allready. You can check timestamps to

Its not a matter of time but of file size. Apparently gzip has (or had)
some limitation it needed to honer before the file got to the limit.
BTW, I found the easoest way to grep for something in one of the compressed

zcat /var/log/syslog.2.gz | grep cron |

I don't know. it just stopped working. Any pointers on what I can do to
fix it? I suppose I'll try the microsoft fix. reboot it! Well that
seemed to fix it. But the question remains as to why it did that. Any
ideas? That is the second time it has done that.

your logs will give you more insight as to why it stopped talking.

Thanks for telling me about the logs. Where are they?
As for what I was doing.I was sorking with the other computer and when

noticed the wireless icon not working.

it was the syslog one. Thanks. It seems that the log is restarted at
reboot. But how do I look at the mesages earlier than today? Hmm
this is interesting! There is a cron job that runs hourly! The syslog line
says:
CRON[]: (root) CMD (cd / run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
You should see syslog.0, syslog.1, etc. (possibly with .z on the end).
Those are your older logs.

you guys are so helpful. Well, there is a /var/log/syslog and syslog.1 but
after that it is syslog.2-7.gz, not 'z'. Does that sound right? Which is

So I get it it saves a total of 8 logs 6 of which are compressed and so
how long is each log a record of? From my inspection of the log it seems as
if it covers a little more than a day. Teach mw about this! I'm all ears!
