Hi.

in installed syslog-ng 3.0.1 PE (syslog-ng-premium-edition-3.0.1-linux-i386.run).
The installation is on a CentOS 5 system (RedHat spin-off).

Although the program itself works fine, the RC scripts STOP command does not work.

I traced the problem down to the .pid file not being set correctly.
According to the RC script the .pid file shoud be in:
PIDFILE=$SYSLOGNG_PREFIX/var/run/syslog-ng.pid

resulting in the below when running STOP/RESTART
------------
[root at test-server:~] /etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart
-n Restarting syslog-ng: 
-n Stopping syslog-ng: 
-n Starting syslog-ng: 
Error binding socket; addr='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:514)', error='Address already in use (98)'
Error initializing source driver; source='tcp_input_syslog', id='tcp_input_syslog#0'
Error initializing message pipeline;
failed
-------------
I found out that the pid file set is actually:
/var/run/syslogd.pid

So changing the RC script to:
PIDFILE=/var/run/syslogd.pid

seems to work.
