2.8.2 Viewing the System Message Log Files
The error logging daemon, syslogd, automatically records various system
warnings, errors, and faults in message files. These messages can alert you to system
problems such as a device that is about to fail.
The /var/adm directory contains several message files. The most recent messages
are in the /var/adm/messages file. After a period of time (usually every ten days),
a new messages file is automatically created. The original contents of the
messages file are rotated to a file named messages.1. Over a period of time, the
messages are further rotated to messages.2 and messages.3, and then deleted.
