From everything that I can find, no it does not. It uses ssl to create a secure tcp connection based on port. Nothing that I have found indicates that it needs anything other than network connectivity and ssl in order to function.

I understand what you guys are saying, but the programs are called using the fully qualified path to them. Both start and are running, but syslog-ng seems unable to send logs through the tunnel to the loghost. I don't know of any environmental variables that would even have significance to either program.

Just like for cron called scripts, all environmental variables need to be either within the script itself or sourced by the script.

cron and init scripts have no knowledge of the environmental settings that may be tied to your root (or any) shell.

Also, it is best if you fully qualify program calls (/usr/local/bin/nawk vs. nawk) within scripts if you don't set your path in environmental settings.

Bottom line, for the teams I've managed: if you need it for cron to work, explicitly state it.

Exactly what do you mean by environment being the same? The startup script works on this box if executed manually. The only thing that could possibly change would be what is actually running at the time rc starts stunnel and syslog-ng. I have place the startup script in rc2 directly after inetd starts.

I have considered this. The only problem with this would be that I can manually execute the script and everything starts up properly. It only seems to barf when executed from rc on boot.

Did you check that the environment is exactly the same?
