[syslog-ng]1.4.11 fixes SIGHUP problems?

Mon, 12 Mar 2001 12:05:00 -0600

Would it make sense then to also send it to:

destination d_mlal { usertty("*"); };

or

destination d_cons { file("/dev/console"); };

You could tell me a clue _where_ I could write this message? syslog-ng is
running in the background with no stderr or stdout. It has nothing to write
to except for its logfiles.

As I see Apache has a configtest mode which is ran prior to sending a
signal
to the daemon, and although this can be done with syslog-ng as well, the
configuration can be broken even if it's syntactically correct.
