[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng Dead But PID exists

[Padmanabhan, Rajeesh (GE Healthcare)]

Hi All,

I have configured a syslog-ng client(Syslog-ng 2.0rc1) on Linux. Afer
couple of hours it stops working. It happens quiet often.
If I check the daemen status( /etc/init.d/syslog-ng status), its says,

Syslog-ng dead, but PID exists.

Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
