Hi, We have an alternative solution for the same problem, waiting for a release to happen. Can you check if this one works for you too? This adds a -f to the start_daemon call. On Tue, 2009-12-01 at 14:57 -0800, Gordon McAllister wrote:
Hello,
I'm running the syslog-ng 3.0.4 RPM on CentOS 5.4 and came across a problem where syslog-ng would not start properly after an unclean shutdown, since the old PID file was still in place. Attached is a patch to the init script supplied with the RPM that attempts to correct this.
