[syslog-ng]help

[Nicholas Berry]

Here is an example script that I'm using for Solaris:
---SOF
#!/bin/sh
# syslog-ng start|stop|restart script

USAGE="Usage: `basename $0` start|stop|restart"

CFG="/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng.conf"

PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH

case "$1" in
  'start')
        if [ -f $CFG ]; then
                echo "Starting syslog-ng: "
                mount /syslog
                syslog-ng
        else
                echo "-syslog-ng failed! Missing configuration file."
        fi
        ;;

  'stop')
        echo "Stopping syslog-ng: "
                pkill -x -u 0 syslog-ng
                rm /var/run/syslog-ng.pid 1>&2
                echo "done."
        ;;

  'restart')
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        ;;

  *)
        echo $USAGE     1>&2
        exit 1
esac
---EOF

Things you might want to change:
	1. If you're not using Solaris, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not needed
	2. pkill is another Solaris specific reference, and can be
replaced with
		"kill -9 `cat /var/run/syslog-ng.pid`"
	3. If your syslog-ng.conf is located elsewhere, update the CFG
variable.

In order to have this start on (re)boot, place in your default run-level
directory (most linux distros use /etc/rc?.d, redhat uses
/etc/rc.d/rc?.d - rc3.d is most commonly the default).  Name the file
S99syslog-ng (the 99 can change to whatever you like).

Hope that answers your question.
