[cobalt-developers] /var/log/status



I was having some problems with logfiles in /var/cobalt and erased most of
them (problems as in disk almost full).  Unfortunately, I erased
/var/log/status which appears to be a critical file for the monitor
program.

Does anyone know how I can recover the contents of that file so that
/usr/local/sbin/monitor will stop emailing every single customer on my RAQ
(RAQ v 1) and admin pages will start functioning normally again?

No I don't have a backup copy of this file and yes this was a very stupid
thing to do!!!  I have disabled monitor from running in /etc/crontab so I
think I have prevented all my customers from getting spammed for now.  I
swear I will never touch a server on Christmas day again.

TIA,

Fraser

P.S. Please send responses directly to me (and the list as appropriate)
since I am subscribed to the digest version of the list.
