Hi all, The script init.d.RedHat from the contrib directory kept complaining: Starting syslog-ng: basename: too many arguments Try `basename --help' for more information. when i used it to start syslog-ng. This annoying behavior can be fixed by replacing the line: daemon "$INIT_PROG $INIT_OPTS" by daemon --check $INIT_PROG "$INIT_PROG $INIT_OPTS" I had this problem on a RedHat 7.0, and thought the solution might be helpful for others. Regards, Jacques THOMAS.
