Darkshadow, In Panther I wrote a StartupItem for syslog-ng that had it ³require² the Resolver, this worked fine for startup. The thing is, syslog-ng doesn¹t log at all in either of my Tiger installs. Ever. Even when I start it up manually. For example, launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslod.plist syslog-ng -f /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng.conf And then it gets as far as creating that day¹s logfile... But it stays empty and then polls for ever... -- Alan Orth aorth@csuchico.edu User Services - Field Services Technician Upward Bound - Systems Administrator California State University, Chico (530)898-6000 From: Darkshadow <darkshadow02@mac.com> Reply-To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 15:30:56 -0400 To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] Syslog-ng on Mac OS X Tiger? needs to start up after the network has come up in Tiger, otherwise it blocks and never recovers.
