Re: [syslog-ng] program() doesn't restart if it dies

i believe i have read that 2.0 is supposed to restart the program if it dies, 1.6 does not, to my knowledge.

what version of syslog-ng are you running?

Ok then, I've got syslog-ng 1.6.9. I guess it will be worth the upgrade to 2.0 at some point when it becomes very solid. In the meantime I wrote a quick script to test the programs are alive and restart syslog-ng if one of them dies, which is good enough and gets the job done so I'm ok with that for now. -h -- Hari Sekhon
