Would it make sense then to also send it to: destination d_mlal { usertty("*"); }; or destination d_cons { file("/dev/console"); }; John Delisle Corporate Technology Ceridian Canada Ltd 204-975-5909 Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@balabit.hu> To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Sent by: cc: syslog-ng-admin@lists.

IMO, it should dump to STDOUT/ERR as well...much like apachectl restart.
apache says something like "config is broken, ignoring restart"
i've made changes to the config file before(with errors) never thinking there's a problem. logging continued normally, not error messages i could see.
I'm afraid I agree totally with this... I've done the same thing.
You could tell me a clue _where_ I could write this message? syslog-ng is running in the background with no stderr or stdout. It has nothing to write to except for its logfiles. As I see Apache has a configtest mode which is ran prior to sending a signal to the daemon, and although this can be done with syslog-ng as well, the configuration can be broken even if it's syntactically correct. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 _______________________________________________ syslog-ng maillist - syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng
