[syslog-ng]restarting syslog-ng

[Erich Reitz]

Hi,

When I restart syslog-ng, should I be restarting all other
applications that write to the log files?

I have noticed that when I restart syslog-ng
(/etc/init.d/syslog restart - redhat 7) I will lose certain messages
to my maillog from sendmail.  If I don't restart my cron daemon,
it no longer has any new messages in its log file (/var/log/cron).
This is true of other apps as well.

The stopping/restarting of syslog-ng is handled by redhat's "daemon
syslog-ng" and "killproc syslog-ng" scripts within /etc/init.d/syslog.
