Where are all the log files?

#1 Post by dvw86 »

I noticed that /var/log/messages has a tendency to get a little big. What other log files should I keep an eye on? Are there log files that are only generated if certain applications are installed?

You may want to have a look at this thread. It explains why it grows and how to avoid it.

Ya I did all of that. I have a HD install so it's really not that big of deal. I was just curious.

Good catch, rarsa. I thought I remembered that thread, but couldn't find it.
