  • Just as a general rule, I would start checking log files. You can start be searching /var/log for files that have been modified in the last few mins with something like “sudo find /var/log -mmin -10 -ls 2>/dev/null”. That will get you all log files in /var/log changed within the last 10 mins. Then you can tail those or grep them looking for clues. I have done searches of the entire file system looking for log files that were recently modified to find clues. It might also help to send the output to a file so you can view that and scroll up and down rather than just trying to read the output of the find, tail or grep commands. Put a “1>/{path}/filenameyouwanttouse.out” at the end of the command or you can pipe it to the tee command and it will show on the screen and write to the file you specify.
