title: Which processes write to /var/adm/messages
body: <p>What are the processes that write to "/var/adm/messages"?
  From what I gathered Syslogd does the job. Am i right? </p>
  
  <p>Also I saw multiple files, messages, messages.0,  messages.1 and so on. Why is it so?</p>
  
  <p>Also is there any other system process that writes to these files?</p>
  
  <p>Any help is highly appreciated.</p>
