Fontail does not show latest log file entries.
Openhab is not writing these since last reboot.
Please note: I just restarted openhab which fixed the problem.
However, I am still curious as to why this happened.

Yet only see entries up to Oct 15.
The file system shows me log files with time stamps from Oct 15.:

I can’ make sense of this.
This happened after a reboot.
Anyway, I thought before I post, I restart openhab.
Before I did, I restarted the fontail service.
I deleted the event.log and openhab.log files.
Then issued the command openhab-cli stop.
What puzzles me is: why did the openhab not write to the log files?
Is this a known issue?
Any hints appreciated.
