[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng not restarting

[Francisco Javier Lizarán Vilches]

I have installed syslog-ng-premium-edition-2.1.10a-1.i386.rpm for RHEL-5.

These are some commands and its outputs:
-Stop ok.
# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop
Shutting down syslog-ng:                                   [  OK  ]

-Start doesn't work.
# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start
Starting syslog-ng: /bin/bash: line 1: 20231 Abortado                /sbin/syslog-ng
                                                           [FALLÃ]
-Status ok.
# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng status
syslog-ng está parado

After that (and after the system booting) I have to execute syslog-ng manually:
# syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf &
[1] 20350

# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng status
Se está ejecutando syslog-ng (pid 20351)...
[1]+  Done                    syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

-Restart doesn't work.
# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart
Restarting syslog-ng: /etc/init.d/syslog-ng: line 41: 20493 Abortado                $binary --syntax-only

Apart from that, syslog-ng operation is normal.

Hmm what version are you running? Do you have a longer output? if an
executed program gets a signal, then bash reports the received signal in
the next line.

In the meanwhile I have this tested on CentOS5.
