The problem with that is everytime syslog-ng restarts (or HUPd) for whatever reasons there will be a new instance of the process running.

syslog-ng sends a TERM signal IIRC on HUPs, if it doesn't it's a bug. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt
