Hi All, I have compiled the syslog-ng version 3.3.6 on a Solaris Sparc machine . The compilation went through fine but when I try to run syslog-ng .. though the daemon gets running somehow the unix prompt is not returned.. and it hangs... For ex:- # ps -ef|grep -i syslog root 14073 11758 0 07:11:37 pts/4 0:00 vi syslog-ng.d root 14097 13526 0 07:15:48 pts/1 0:00 grep -i syslog Now if I start the daemon using the below options... # /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 I never get back the prompt.. but if on another window I check.. the daemon has started.. ps -ef|grep -i syslog root 14099 11758 0 07:16:17 pts/4 0:00 grep -i syslog root 14098 13526 23 07:16:04 pts/1 0:13 /opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-3.3.6/sbin/syslog-ng -f /opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/s though I guess... i should expect one more child to this... can someone please help me address this issue please... Thanks, Rkaesh.
