[syslog-ng]syslog-ng dying on hup - not solved :(

[nija@magicaldesk.com]

Hello all,

Syslog-ng is still dying on hup.  I can not make it consistent.
Here is a snipet from syslog-ng's log file.

Oct 31 20:41:47 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx syslog-ng[21918]: syslog-ng version 1.4.7 starting
Oct 31 20:42:10 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx syslog-ng[21918]: SIGHUP received, restarting syslog-ng
Oct 31 20:42:24 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx syslog-ng[21956]: syslog-ng version 1.4.7 starting
Oct 31 20:42:29 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx syslog-ng[21956]: AF_INET client connected from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, port 1028
Oct 31 20:43:29 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx syslog-ng[21956]: SIGHUP received, restarting syslog-ng
Oct 31 20:43:29 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx syslog-ng[21956]: new configuration initialized
Oct 31 20:43:38 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx syslog-ng[21956]: SIGHUP received, restarting syslog-ng
Oct 31 20:43:38 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx syslog-ng[21956]: new configuration initialized
Oct 31 20:45:22 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx syslog-ng[21956]: SIGHUP received, restarting syslog-ng
Oct 31 20:45:22 xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx syslog-ng[21956]: new configuration initialized

You can see where I have hupped syslog-ng.  the SIGHUP shows that.  If it is not followed by the message saying 'new cong' initialized then it died.

I have tried hupping several ways, manually with -HUP, manually with -1, with a script.

About 1 out of every 3 times it dies.  I can hup it 10 times in a row with no problems and sometimes it dies every other time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did not include my conf file because I have sent it out plenty of times.  :)

Thank you for the help,
Nija
