hi, I was reported a reload with program() destinations on OpenBSD. As it seems the OpenBSD shell kills the whole process group it is part of when the shell receives a SIGTERM. As it currently stands syslog-ng is part of the shell's process group, which means that syslog-ng will be terminated upon the receipt of a SIGHUP: 1) syslog-ng gets a SIGHUP, 2) it terminates all its children (which includes a /bin/sh -c) 3) the OpenBSD shell issues kill -TERM 0, which sends a TERM signal to syslog-ng This patch should fix the issue, and will be included in tomorrow's snapshot: diff -u syslog-ng/src/afprogram.c:1.7.4.1 syslog-ng/src/afprogram.c:1.7.4.2 --- syslog-ng/src/afprogram.c:1.7.4.1 Mon Mar 22 12:56:33 2004 +++ syslog-ng/src/afprogram.c Thu Nov 18 10:57:27 2004 @@ -109,6 +109,7 @@ dup2(fd, 2); close(fd); close(msgpipe[1]); + setsid(); execl("/bin/sh", "/bin/sh", "-c", self->progname->data, NULL); _exit(127); } -- Bazsi
