Curious Case of super huge syslog
The Problem:
Insufficient memory left on /root partition.
On inspection I found that it was happening because /var/log was growing till 35 GB (I have a root partition of 50 GB).
On further inspection I found that /var/log/syslog was huge
Following was the repeating line (error log that would quickly fill up my disk space)

Reason
I use sdkman to manage my java/gradle (and other JVM based languages) installation and management.
sdkman-init.sh #source script to initialize sdkman
Sourcing of this script had to be inside .zshrc (was in .bashrc but I was using zsh)
