[syslog-ng] HP-UX pipe read errors

[Andy G.]

Hello,

I'm new to syslog-ng and am trying to configure it to run on HP-UX 10.20
and 11.11.  It seems to have problems reading from the /dev/log pipe.
Each time a message is received on the pipe, syslog-ng hits an I/O error
and closes the filehandle, and no more messages are received.  However,
the first message is always processed correctly.

Here is my syslog-ng.conf:
    source src {
    pipe("/dev/log" pad_size(2048));
    internal();
    };

    destination d_file {
    file("/var/adm/syslog-ng/messages"
        owner(root)
        group(systaff)
        perm(0640)
    );
    };

    destination d_net {
    tcp(testy port(1514));
    };

    log {
    source(src);
    destination(d_file);
    destination(d_net);
    };

When I run syslog-ng in the foreground with debug and verbose options,
this is what I see:

    io.c: Preparing fd 3 for reading
    io.c: connecting using fd 6
    connecting fd 6 to inetaddr testy, port 1514
    syslog-ng version 1.6.10 starting
    io.c: Preparing fd 6 for writing
    io.c: Preparing fd 7 for writing
    io.c: do_read: read() failed (errno 11), Resource temporarily
unavailable
      fd = 3, buffer = 00098b0, length = 2048
    Marking fd 3 for closing.
    Closing fd 3.

The do_read line is when the message is received.  syslog-ng continues
to run, and internal messages (e.g. STATS) continue to show up on the
local host and the remote loghost.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
