No, /var/log/messages is the place to go for this. For some more 
debugging to see all CCEd transactions involved you could do this:

touch /etc/DEBUG
tail -f /var/log/admserv/adm_error

When you're done debugging, recall deleting /etc/DEBUG again.

However, I suspect that CCEd is hung on your server and/or has some 
stuck handlers.

Please try to see if this shakes the issue loose:

systemctl stop cced.init.service
killall -9 cced
killall -9 pperld

Those "killall" commands might come up blank if there were no matches 
found. Which is fine.

Then check with "ps axf|grep sausalito" if there are still processes 
around that match that criteria. If it still reports any, kill them off 
with "kill -9 <PID>", where <PID> is the process ID.

Once all CCEd related processes have been killed off, restart CCEd again:

systemctl start cced.init.service

That should do the trick. A more drastic approach that also shakes 
things loose? A reboot. But you don't have to rock the boat that much by 
just killing off all CCEd related processes as shown above and then 
starting CCEd again.
