I have a relatively simple perl program that is called from syslog-ng using destination <name> { program("/path/to/program"); }; syntax in syslog-ng.conf. I have noticed an interesting thing regarding the syslog-ng stop/start messages. When starting the syslog-ng daemon (via init script), I get an appropriate log messages sent to my program: Mar 19 01:54:52 loki2 syslog-ng[21700]: syslog-ng version 1.6.5 starting However, when stopping the daemon, I get no stop messages sent to the program, though I do see them sent to other configured destinations. (example stop message: Mar 19 01:48:41 loki2 syslog-ng[21187]: syslog-ng version 1.6.5 going down) Any ideas, or experience with a similar behavior? Any way to force the stop message to be sent to my program? IOW is this behavior configurable? Thank You, Brian A. Kee __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
