There is a contributed init script in the source directory: (I know it says RedHat-7.3, but it will work for 9) # copy the init script into place cp -p <your_source_dir>/syslog-ng-1.6.5/contrib/init.d.RedHat-7.3 /etc/init.d/syslog-ng # make it executable (if it isn't already) chmod +x /etc/init.d/syslog-ng # turn off syslog (if you are completely replacing it) chkconfig syslog off # turn on syslog-ng at reboot time chkconfig syslog-ng on # stop syslog and start syslog-ng /etc/init.d/syslog stop /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start Thomas Reidy wrote:
Running on Red Hat 9.. the application is running, logging perfectly..
I built it w/o the RPMs, and need to know how to get this to start automatically during startup.. its been a long day, so this may be obvious..
Am I right to assume if I reboot the box, I won't get logging until I manually start the script?
I could just put something simple in /etc/init.d, etc but need to know what the file should say.. the init scripts never just seem to launch the programs...
Thanks in advance...
