[syslog-ng] time_sleep()

[Vaibhav Goel]

BTW I just removed the time_sleep(30); from the file below to restart
syslog-ng.  But as soon as I put it in there, I get the syntax error...

syntax error at 20
Parse error reading configuration file, exiting. (line 20)


options {
   sync (0);
   time_reopen (10);
   log_fifo_size (1000);
   long_hostnames (on);
   use_dns (yes);
   use_fqdn (no);
   create_dirs (no);
   owner(mdirect);
   group(mdirect);
   keep_hostname (yes);
   log_msg_size(20480);
   time_sleep(30);
};

I can't post the whole thing since its too big but I am posting the
relevant portion of it:

options {
   sync (0);
   time_reopen (10);
   log_fifo_size (1000);
   long_hostnames (on);
   use_dns (yes);
   use_fqdn (no);
   create_dirs (no);
   owner(mdirect);
   group(mdirect);
   keep_hostname (yes);
   log_msg_size(20480);
};


The rest of the file is just a bunch of source, destination, filter and
log entries for various stuff

Also:
[root at clxd01md syslog-ng]# strings /sbin/syslog-ng  | grep time_sleep
time_sleep

So looks like there could be some time_sleep code in the binary at
least...

Strange. I backported the time_sleep change to the Debian package I'm
running (1.6.9) so I can't speak for the pristine 1.6.10 source, but
it's
been working fine for us. I glanced at the 1.6.10 tarball and see some
time_sleep code there. Could you post your entire syslog-ng.conf?
