Hi

I have installed syslog-ng on RHEL 5 as an RPM
(syslog-ng-2.0.8-1.fc8.i386.rpm).

It runs fine except for this problem :

Every night at 04:02 som script runs and make a reload of the
configuration. This comes out
with some errors in the messages file, but the real problem is, that
syslog-ng sometime stops
running at this time.

I'm running syslog-ng together with php-syslog-ng


Hope anyone can help

rgds,
Peter Calum
