Excerpts from man syslog-ng: -p <filename> Write the current PID information to the specified file. -v Enable verbose mode. Process will not become a daemon. Prints out fewer messages, compared to -d. Despite what that says, syslog-ng forks into the background when -v is used. Also, when -d is used to force syslog-ng to run in the foreground it does not create a pid file even when -p is used. I need the pidfile to be created even when running in the foreground. I am running syslog-ng with: syslog-ng -d -p /var/run/syslog-ng.pid -- Kevin
