syslogd strange automatic restart

[sonysun]

Hi all,

I found something strange in my log file :

This kind of sequence :

15:00:00 /usr/sbin/cron (root) CMD (newsyslog)
15:00:00 /usr/sbin/cron (operator) CMD (/usr/libexec/save-entropy)
15:00:00 /usr/sbin/cron (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun)
15:00:00 syslogd restart

I've this sequence the same day at 12:00:00, 14:00:00, 15:00:00, 16:00:00, 17:00:00, 19:00:00
and the day after at 00:00:00, 03:00:00

Is it normal for syslogd to restart like this ?

Did you get to the bottom of this? Is this the log cycling?

What do the commands # at -l and # atq show?

Also, can you post the contents (feel free to remove comments though) of /etc/newsyslog.conf?
