That works great. Thanks for the info. sim Dennis Kruyt wrote:
try it with the option -p when you start syslog-ng and give the location of the pid file where you want it.
syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf -p /var/run/syslogd.pid

I am trying to rotate the logs but am having problems with logrotate. This may not be a problem with syslog-ng. This is the command used.
/var/log/logfile { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog-ng.pid` endscript }
The problem with this is that the syslog-ng.pid file seems to be generated in whatever directory you started syslog-ng from instead of /var/run/*. Is this a configuration problem of the system? If a system problem how do I go about fixing it ( if this is not too far off topic )? Is there a simpler way to send an HUP signal?
I am using Redhat-6.2 on an ALPHA with syslog-ng 1.4.11.
Thanks, sim
