On Ubuntu 12.04, I can find Upstart log messages in /var/log/syslog
.
Commands:
# initctl log-priority info
# initctl emit hello
Log:
Apr 1 01:56:56 precise64 kernel: [ 8365.820425] init: Connection from private client
Apr 1 01:56:56 precise64 kernel: [ 8365.821130] init: Handling hello event
On Ubuntu 13.10, the messages do not appear in syslog
or anywhere else under the /var/log
directory, although commands like logger hello
work as expected. Should I be looking for them somewhere else? Is there a configuration setting I need to change somewhere?
There’s a question on Server Fault from somebody who seems to be having the same problem on Ubuntu 13.04, and more here and here that may also be describing the same problem. Unfortunately, these questions offer no leads for the problem.
