Nobody here is judging your level of Unix/Linuix knowledge - we were all
beginners once :-)

If the problem is a simple mis-configuration of how the programs start, it
could take just a couple of minutes to fix, which is less time than it has
taken to type out an email (actually several emails now) saying you don't
have time to fix it. :-)

Some of the commands you have been using are looking at the configuration
files that control how the myth programs start up. If there is a problem
with the configuration then that configuration file is the place to fix
it. Until you know what the problem is though, you don't know for certain
how to fix it.

Honestly though, if you are going to ignore the well-meaning and helpful
advice you have received from several people trying to help you, on the
basis that YOU are too busy, do you really expect much help next time?

Short term, you could always delete the older log files!
