    I would like to know what are or could be the best way to troubleshoot linux log errors. I know i have to look at the syslogs. It's little hard since I kinda new to it. I got bofhlog install to help me.

    To check the last 100 lines of a log, use
    Code:
    tail -n100 /path/to/log
    To see inrealtime what's happening in your log, run
    Code:
    tail -f /path/to/log
