Antwort: RE: [syslog-ng] Syslog-ng with stunnel

[Stephen Tanner]

I understand what you guys are saying, but the programs are called using
the fully qualified path to them.  Both start and are running, but
syslog-ng seems unable to send logs through the tunnel to the loghost.
I don't know of any environmental variables that would even have
significance to either program.

Just like for cron called scripts, all environmental variables need to
be either within the script itself or sourced by the script.

cron and init scripts have no knowledge of the environmental settings
that may be tied to your root (or any) shell.

Also, it is best if you fully qualify program calls (/usr/local/bin/nawk
vs. nawk) within scripts if you don't set your path in environmental
settings.

Bottom line, for the teams I've managed: if you need it for cron to
work, explicitly state it.

Exactly what do you mean by environment being the same?  The startup
script works on this box if executed manually.  The only thing that
could possibly change would be what is actually running at the time rc
starts stunnel and syslog-ng.  I have place the startup script in rc2
directly after inetd starts.

Did you check that the environment is exactly the same?
