        Logs are only kept in RAM.
        If you reboot, they are lost.

        To keep your logs set up a syslog server and configure it under Status –> System Logs --> Settings.

        We do what we must, because we can.

            This is what remote syslog is for.  Look into it.  Learn it.  Love it.
