Network services log

Do you mean a service that uses the network (like a web server), or the network configuration itself (like interfaces and routing)?

There's no defined way to restart the latter in Solaris 9. I'm not sure exactly what you're doing.

For applications, there's no one defined log location. It's up to the app to make use of syslog facilities or log to a dedicated file.

I'm afraid that you still haven't clarifed what you mean by "services".

Each application logs its own way. So you'll have to enumerate all of the services you're interested in.

Otherwise, you could go to Solaris 10 where the OS monitors services directly.

It's up to the application to log itself. Unless you enable accounting, the system isn't going to be able to tell you when or why every single process might have died or exited.

There is no global log for random applications or processes.

Most applications have their own log or send information to syslog.If there's no log, or the log doesn't contain any information about the process going away, you may have to work with the vendor or developer to get more information.

If you know beforehand exactly when it will die, you can run 'truss' on the process. If it gets a signal, you'll see what signal is delivered.
