Hi,

I have tried this with 3.3.7 and even with this version the syslog-ng daemon hangs...( the prompt is not received back).

# /opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-3.3.6/sbin/syslog-ng -f /opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf -p /var/run/syslog-ng.pid

(prompt is not returned back)

The process though seems to be running

#  ps -ef|grep -i syslog

    root  3456  3450  0 04:47:16 pts/4    0:00 grep -i syslog

    root  3445  6926 47 04:46:14 pts/2    1:02 /opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-3.3.6/sbin/syslog-ng -f /opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/s

#

Below is the debug output.

# /opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-3.3.7/sbin/syslog-ng -Fvde

nanosleep() is not accurate enough to introduce minor stalls on the reader side, multi-threaded performance may be affected;

Not sure if the issue points to some issues with my system or syslog-ng..

Thanks & Regards,

Is there another syslogd running, perhaps? That can easily lock up
syslog-ng. If not, then I'd like to ask you to try syslog-ng 3.3.7, as a
few Solaris-related fixes went into that version, which might fix the
problem you're experiencing.

If not, then running truss on the process, and/or the output of
syslog-ng -Fvde would be useful to see.
