How to find syslog on an AIX machine

Start with:

man syslogd

      

        
        
        
      

    

and go from there.

Or you say it /etc/syslog.conf

doesn't exist.

If it is, it should be able to tell you where all the log files are. If it isn't, you need to figure out how it was started syslogd

:

• by looking at his entry from ps
  
  ; or
• by looking at the entry /etc/rc.d
  
  that started it.
