My production server (SAP) which has SLES 11 SP1 log file flooded with

Well, cron is doing something every ten minutes (not an error… no  
worries) and syslog is documenting some of its own statistics. I  
wouldn’t worry about just twenty-two messages over three hours… that’s  
not very many.

Good luck.

Does root or sapprdsvr have local mail?

Hi

You’ll find the culprit in /etc/cron.d/.

It’s /etc/cron.d/sysstat, which runs every 10 minutes to get  
system-statistics with “sa1”.

Tom

root has mail. If it is not a warry, then ok.  
Is there any log only for warnings and errors?
