Crash Logs

[S2S-Robert]

Where can I find the location of the logs that the server made right before crashing? I checked /var/log/ but the only thing I can see related to the actual system are boot logs.

Hello,

Generally the best thing I use is /var/log/messages. Just lookup where the server rebooted, and the move up one log entry to see what was logged last. A lot of times the cause will be listed there, either out of memory, disk full, or what have you.
