syslog is now stable on my machines, but it seems that it has been restarting itself. i control everything in a cluster fashion so when i rotate syslog into sql i run a stop/start script in perl which logs into all the machines and issues a stop/start through init scripts. sometimes it works but sometimes it wont due to the fact that the pid in /var/run is differant than the current pid, telling me that syslog-ng has somehow restarted itself and is now running under a new pid. has this issue been brought up before? if so might it be fixed in 1.3.8? thanks -jacob * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Jacob Zehnder * * * * * * * * * Grill Master * * * * * * * * "The dude abides." * * * * 'The Big Lebowski' * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
