Have you tried attaching to it with strace? That will slow it down, but it won't change any code paths like the -d option does. Do something like "strace -o outputfile -p <syslog-ng-process" and see what's in "outputfile" after syslog-ng exits (if it indeed does exit). If you don't have the disk space, you could kill the strace process every hour or so and restart it - the daemon being traced shouldn't notice anything. _______________________________________________ syslog-ng maillist - syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng ------_=_NextPart_001_01C1B0C6.D8437FC0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">RE: [syslog-ng]syslog-ng mysteriously exits Thanks to Ed for the help, here's the tail of the = strace:
