Just a question: Can syslog-ng reload its configuration file (changed) without being restarted? I couldn't find anything related in the documentation.
kill -HUP $(< /var/run/syslog-ng.pid)
Hi Wolfram, Thank you for answering, but what I asked was about a function (from syslog-ng) that does it automaticaly (withou kill, /etc/init.d/syslog restart, etc).
Why should it reload it automactially?! I don't think automatically reloading changed configuration is a smart idea. You might have broken something when editing syslog-ng.conf. The standard procedure should be: 1. edit and save syslog-ng.conf 2. check for syntax errors with "syslog-ng -s" 3. reload syslog-ng (kill -HUP) to make it re-initialize its config. The Gentoo init script for syslog-ng for example does "syslog-ng -s" automatically before (re)starting syslog-ng. It also supports a "reload" option that does the "kill -HUP" stuff.
