Re: [syslog-ng]How can I stop syslog-ng by command

This is going to vary widely by operating system, distribution, and installation method. We would need to know these things in order to help. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using 'kill', as long as you are doing a normal 'kill', which sends a TERM signal to the process, and not a 'kill -9' which sends a KILL signal. TERM tells the process to shut down normally, while KILL abruptly stops it. On Mon, 13 Dec 2004 17:56:51 +0800, wei <wei00@126.com> wrote:

I have a simple question to ask you. Could you tell me a command to stop/start my syslog-ng server?

In my Syslog-ng 1.6.5, I can't use "syslog-ng stop" to stop my syslog-ng. I can only use kill, but I don't think it is a good idea.
