server restaring after syslogd starts

deltamail · Post by **deltamail** » 2010/03/29 16:09:16

I am facing strange problem.. the server is restarting once the syslogd restart. I checked the /var/log/message

[root@localhost logrotate.d]# cat /var/log/messages | egrep restart
Mar 28 04:02:04 localhost syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Mar 29 03:34:58 localhost syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Mar 29 11:02:31 localhost syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

Any idea how to debug it?

Thanks

From a wild guess what are the output of:
[code]grep kernel /boot/grub/grub.conf
grep initdefault /etc/inittab[/code]

The only information you have provided tells me that the syslog daemon, [i]syslogd[/i], has been restarted on your system and nothing more.

Please show the output returned by --

[code]
[b]grep -A 10 restart /var/log/messages[/b]
[/code]

I'd change that a bit to
[code]
[b]grep -C 10 restart /var/log/messages[/b]
[/code]to show both lines before and after the restart.

Certainly. :-D

The output from `uptime` would almost certainly answer the query too.

Ok Rebooted the server again...

1. You are not running CentOS, you are running OpenVZ.
2. What do you claim as the problem?

deltamail · Post by **deltamail** » 2010/03/31 17:11:46

Problem is "Syslogd started this reboot the server."

Your OpenVZ is misconfigured. Try the OpenVZ forum.
