Discussion Board
/var/log/messages

/var/log/messages – Contains global system messages, including the messages that are logged during system startup. There are several things that are logged in /var/log/messages including mail, cron, daemon, kern, auth, etc.

Here, /var/log/ is directory and messages is the log file.

Wrong answers

The correct answer here must be /var/log not - /var/log/messages because we need directory not file.
