System Log
The system log gives the most recent messages from the unix /var/log/messages file. Information will include the
following:
• Messages about system behavior such as process startup/shutdown.
• Warnings about recoverable problems that processes encounter.
• Error messages where processes encounter problems they cannot fix; note that this does not mean that
the process will not continue to work, only that it encountered an issue it could do nothing about.
