Okay, running it with debug and verbose (-d -v) this is all I get in the log (allmessages as defined by syslog-ng configuration): Sep 26 12:57:08 machine syslog-ng[151718]: syslog-ng starting up; version='2.0rc1' Sep 26 12:57:08 machine syslog-ng[151718]: Initializing destination file writer; template='/data/logs/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY.allmessages.log', filename='/data/logs/20060926.allmessages.log' Sep 26 12:57:08 machine syslog-ng[151718]: Initializing destination file writer; template='/data/logs/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY.netmessages.log', filename='/data/logs/20060926.netmessages.log' Sep 26 12:57:38 machine syslog-ng[151718]: Reaping unused destination files; template='/data/logs/router/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY.router.log' Sep 26 12:57:38 machine syslog-ng[151718]: Reaping unused destination files; template='/data/logs/switch/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY.switch.log' Sep 26 12:57:38 machine syslog-ng[151718]: Reaping unused destination files; template='/data/logs/pixen/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY.pixen.log' Sep 26 12:57:38 machine syslog-ng[151718]: Reaping unused destination files; template='/data/logs/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY.netmessages.log' Sep 26 12:57:38 machine syslog-ng[151718]: Reaping unused destination files; template='/data/logs/ids/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY.ids.log' Sep 26 12:57:38 machine syslog-ng[151718]: Reaping unused destination files; template='/data/logs/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY.allmessages.log' Sep 26 12:57:38 machine syslog-ng[151718]: Reaping unused destination files; template='/data/logs/vpn/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY.vpn.log' Remember, I'm running this on AIX. I don't understand why its calling those destinations "unused", to of them are. Also, no mention of the pipes. Maybe its feeding the pipes though - I simply have no real way of knowing...

No one with an idea of what might be going on here? I've reread most of the documentation for syslog-ng and can't figure it out...perhaps its an AIX/fs permissions issue?
Currently we are trying to track down a similar issue, but it might be unrelated. You aren't running syslog-ng as a superuser. Have you checked whether your syslog user has the needed permissions to create the files and open the pipes for writing?
Some kind of trace output (like strace on linux) would be appreciated.
