Hi, Correct, from version 3 syslog-ng has a supervisor process which could get disabled using the --process-mode=background option. To the original poster: please don't mix the output of multiple ps commands, it just makes reading your mail more difficult. In your case PID 3634 is the syslog-ng supervisor process, PID 3635 is the actual syslog-ng daemon. Regards, Sandor On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 8:50 AM, Fekete Robert <frobert@balabit.hu> wrote:
Hi, around 3.0.x IIRC, syslog-ng gained a supervisor process that automatically restarts syslog-ng if it crashes.
I think that's why you see now two processes. You can check it by killing the child process - it should respawn, or killing the parent process (should not respawn).
Regards,
Robert
