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!!!

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.
