10.5: One fix for a runaway syslogd process
Authored by: Michelasso on Sat, Feb 9 2008 at 12:49AM PST
I tried that solution as well. It seems to working. Personally my problem seemed to be caused by the program managing the HSDPA modem. It is logging as crazy indeed. So I did two things:

- In /etc/syslog.conf "*.notice" now logs to /dev/null
- I stopped syslogd with launchctl, removed /var/log/asl.db, relaunched syslogd

Now the CPU consumption of syslogd is near to zero, but neither the console nor asl.db are logging anything. I hope it is the regular behavior.
