Is that a question for me? Easy answer, I don't run AIX. :) I probably should have mentioned that. Back a couple years ago when installing openssh on AIX I found it easy to set it up under the SRC, syslog-ng should be easy. On Wed, Oct 25, 2006 at 12:09:14PM -0400, Schernau, Ed wrote:

On AIX, why not just use the system resource controller (SRC) ?

I run syslog-ng under daemontools on a couple loghosts where I don't want it down for more than a second.

I already have cfengine install daemontools on all my systems anyways, so it is trivial for me to automate that part as well. The only problem is that daemontools comes up after all the rc scripts, which leaves you without logging during all of startup.

Workable solution is to still have an rc script that starts syslog and have the daemontools run script kill off any already running syslog-ng daemons when it comes up later. Might be overkill to supervise it in the

first place - judgement call I suppose.
