-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello users, Fedora 15 (and later) uses systemd as init-replacement. Currently, I'm building a fedora package for syslog-ng version 3.2.x. It is based on a git-snapshot dated April 24th. Is there a way to signal syslog-ng to reload it's configuration other than HUPing its pid? The documentation of systemd[1] says: ExecReload= should be specified for all services supporting reload. It is highly recommended to add code here that synchronously reloads the configuration file here (i.e. /bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID is usually a poor choice, due to its asynchronous nature). Omit this option if your service does not support reloading. I would highly appreciate not to maintain a pidfile. Newer linux kernels support so called cgroups. Those can be used to group processes. Systemd creates a cgroup for each service and starts in our case syslog-ng in this cgroup. When no process runs in syslog-ng cgroup, the process exited and must be restarted. systemd takes care of this. Again, is there any other way to signal syslog-ng to reload its config?
