For my project I need to know that - is there a way to log or capture the cause of android reboot, whether user manually powered off / rebooted the devices or wether system_server got restarted by adb kill or it was watchdog who restarted the device.

For any Reboot or Shutdown or restart of system_server ShutdownThread is invoked, which contains reason for shutdown or reboot so you can get the reason from there and do anything with it, i.e. log it or write it to file etc.

see rebootReason and methods of ShutdownThread, for each reboot or shutdown run() method of ShutdownThread is internally invoked which internally calls rebootOrShutDown() method (which should not be called from anywhere else also).

Logcat should get you through. So do the trace file and the tombstone file.

adb kill-server has nothing to do with it. If you kill something from the shell, it depends on the signal type.

You will find all "watchdog" related events in the log, and if you customize your own ROM, and want to ease the finding of those events, you can add a single line to the zygotte block of your init.rc

How to log access to a specific web application in apache?

My Apache server host few applications something like :

/var/www/A
/var/www/B

I would like to trace access for a specific application, eg. A. Is it possible?

Or should I use 'LogLevel info' and so log all applications into access.log file (then parsing for specific web page) ?

My config for logging is :

..
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
LogLevel info
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

Setting log file permissions upon creation?

Is there a way to force Tomcat to set permissions on log files when they’re created? It seems as though this would be something defined in the logging.properties file, but it doesn’t seem like it’s an option.

I want the permissions of all log files created (on server startup/log rollover) to be 640. The only way I can think of doing this is either adding the command to the startup script, or by running a cron job every hour or so. However, if there is a way to make sure the log files are never more permissive than 640, that would be greatly preferable.
