RE: [syslog-ng] cvs tree

parent: wait until term signal arrives

child: initialize config send SIGTERM to parent

Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't you initialize the config *before* forking? Then all the parent needs to do is exit.... (I assume you set the parent's SIGCHLD handler to ignore and that the child removes itself from the parent's process group.... though even that you can do before forking.) Cheers, Rob
