Hi,

You might try:

    rm -f /var/log/messages
    /etc/init.d/syslog restart

Hi,

I'm using RH Linux 9.0 and found an issue with
/var/log/messages.  It seems the content of
/var/log/messages stays the same and won't be updated
any more even after a reboot.  dmesg still shows log
update.  How can I "reset" /var/log/messages and let
it update?

Thanks,


T.
