Are you using systemd or something similar? If yes, you should be using /run/systemd/journal/syslog instead of /dev/log. If not, I'd be curious to either see a strace of syslog-ng starting up, or an lsof of /dev/log.

######################## # Sources ######################## source s_all { internal(); unix-stream("/dev/log" max-connections(2048)); file("/proc/kmsg" program_override("kernel")); };

I would suggest using system() here, that does the right thing and is forward-compatible. You will need to @include "scl.conf" before being able to do so, though. -- |8]
