However, it's still not the same issue we are seeing.. :)

Subject: [syslog-ng] syslog-ng PID not getting set correctly

We are running the sunfreeware 3.0.1 version of syslog-ng.

I'm noticing that the PID is not being set correctly. I saw a bug report but it's not the same as what I'm seeing:


https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23

Here is what I am experiencing:
# ps -ef | grep syslog
    root  1662     1   0 07:42:05 ?           0:00 /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng
    root  1663  1662   0 07:42:05 ?           0:00 /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng

# cat /var/run/syslog-ng.pid
1663

Shouldn't the PID be 1662?

I've also seen inconsistencies when I use the svcadm commands to disable/enable/refresh the syslog-ng service. Many times it won't stop the service properly and the /var/run/syslog-ng.pid file remains in /var/run. When I try to restart syslog-ng, it won't restart until I run an svcadm disable syslog-ng, remove the /var/run/syslog-ng.pid file, then run svcadm enable syslog-ng.

Thanks In Advance for any help.
