This is only speculation, but perhaps @cmkelley ran into some scenario(s) where one or both of the system loggers (i.e. klogd & syslogd) were not shutting down completely after being killed, so he had to introduce a delay to double-check and make sure they were both fully gone before proceeding...

Release Notes for spdMerlin v4.4.17 production version now available [2026-Jan-06] 1) FIXED: In some rare scenarios, the setting for the automatic speed test schedule was "missing" from the configuration file, so the value could no longer be modified by the user. 2) FIXED: In some situations...

My initial suggestion would be to first clearly define the syntax that the input field will accept as valid entries. 1) Define the keywords to be used as valid boolean operators. Examples: all upper cases OR, AND, NOT (??). 2) Define the basic syntax of the boolean expressions that the input...

The path of the built-in system log file is obtained during initial installation, and it gets stored in a configuration file for future retrieval. The "kill_logger()" function knows about and has access to this configuration file, but it also has code to figure out the path on its own, just in...

FYI, There's a new 'develop' branch v3.2.7_26010323 version for Scribe that includes 3-hour and 4-hour intervals for the logrotate crob job schedule. If the log file grows too large before the 6-hour interval is reached, you can try a lower interval...

FYI, There's a new 'develop' branch v3.2.7_26010323 version that includes 3-hour and 4-hour intervals for the logrotate cron job schedule. Also, it increases the log FIFO queue configuration option for the number of messages to 1024 (based on input from @elorimer).

Keep in mind that the manual log rotation follows the current directives specified via the global defaults (A01global), which can be overridden by a separate logrotate configuration file associated with an individual log file. The key point is that "Rotate Log" and "Rotate All" make calls to...

The "/jffs/addons/uiScribe.d/Main_LogStatus_Content.asp" file *is* the WebUI page for uiScribe - it's *not* a backup. The file that you see as "/www/Main_LogStatus_Content.asp" is a temporary "bind mount" of the uiScribe ASP file located in JFFS, and that mount is removed whenever the system is...

Yes, that's correct. The responsibility to filter the system log entries and create separate log files based on content-specific rules falls on syslog-ng, and it does that with a process running in the background. I don't know the minute details, but that's the gist of its core functionality...

Release Notes for uiScribe v1.4.10 production version now available [2025-Dec-22] 1) NEW: Added "Rotate All" and "Rotate Log" on the WebUI page. This new feature will call logrotate on demand (i.e. independently of the current logrotate cron schedule) to rotate log files based on the rotation...

Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.6 production version now available [2025-Dec-22] 1) NEW: CLI menu option to set the hour interval to run the logrotate cron job. Users can now set the cron job to run every 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours. This should help with automatically rotating log files that tend to...

Release Notes for connmon v3.0.10 production version now available [2025-Dec-21] 1) FIXED: Bug fix in a CLI shell script function to get the full value of notification parameters from the configuration file. 2) FIXED: Bug fix in a WebUI JS function to get the full value of notification...

Release Notes for ntpMerlin v3.4.13 production version now available [2025-Dec-21] 1) IMPROVED: Modified the CLI top Main Menu to separate some groups of options and settings into their own sub-menus. This is an effort to make the top Main Menu shorter, more manageable, more user-friendly, and...

Thank you. That's exactly the kind of detail and context that was needed - nicely done. 👍 So yes, all those log entries you've shown are expected for the 2 separate but related events: 1) When the uiScribe WebUI page is first loaded, there's a call to its shell script to get the latest file...

What are the circumstances surrounding those log entries? Spamming implies the log entries don't seem to correlate with any network or user activity, and they simply show up randomly and/or indiscriminately. Is this what you see happening? You'll need to provide details and context; otherwise...

Glad to see it working out for you in the end, and also, your project with InfluxDB and Grafana seems to be going well. Thanks for sticking with me through all the trials and errors while trying to figure out what worked and what didn't. It was an interesting learning experience for both of us...

OK, I've made the changes to make sure actual ping test results are assigned to "data fields" instead of "data tags" per the InfluxDB documentation on their database schema structure. Please try this latest 'develop' branch v3.0.10_25121222 version. As mentioned before, it's very likely that...
