Here is an example script that I'm using for Solaris: ---SOF #!/bin/sh # syslog-ng start|stop|restart script USAGE="Usage: `basename $0` start|stop|restart" CFG="/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng.conf" PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH case "$1" in 'start') if [ -f $CFG ]; then echo "Starting syslog-ng: " mount /syslog syslog-ng else echo "-syslog-ng failed! Missing configuration file." fi ;; 'stop') echo "Stopping syslog-ng: " pkill -x -u 0 syslog-ng rm /var/run/syslog-ng.pid 1>&2 echo "done." ;; 'restart') $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo $USAGE 1>&2 exit 1 esac ---EOF Things you might want to change: 1. If you're not using Solaris, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not needed 2. pkill is another Solaris specific reference, and can be replaced with "kill -9 `cat /var/run/syslog-ng.pid`" 3. If your syslog-ng.conf is located elsewhere, update the CFG variable. In order to have this start on (re)boot, place in your default run-level directory (most linux distros use /etc/rc?.d, redhat uses /etc/rc.d/rc?.d - rc3.d is most commonly the default). Name the file S99syslog-ng (the 99 can change to whatever you like). Hope that answers your question.
