[syslog-ng] Cannot find init.d.AIX in contrib folder

[Chanchal Verma]

Hi,

Thanks for your valuable comments.
I have configured AIX service manager using 'mkssys' command. With this I 
am able to start syslog-ng service daemon using 'startsrc' command 
successfully (tested working), but not able to stop using 'stopsrc'. 

Here is detail info:

Here is command I used to register syslog_ng service to AIX Subsystem:
# mkssys -p /opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/sbin/syslog-ng -s syslog_ng -u 0 -a 
"-f /opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf -p /var/run/syslog-ng.pid" 
-G local

 startsrc -s syslog_ng
0513-059 The syslog_ng Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 
254126.
--------------------------
#  ps -ef |grep -i syslog-ng
    root 426102 573496   0 15:56:11  pts/2  0:00 grep -i syslog-ng
    root 442612      1   0 15:56:04      -  0:00 
/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/sbin/syslog-ng -f 
/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf -p /var/run/syslog-ng.pid

Here above we can see that PID (442612) is different from Subsystem PID 
(254126)
-------------------------
# lssrc -a |grep -i syslog
 syslogd          ras              549028   active
 syslog_ng        local                    inoperative

Status of syslog_ng subsystem is still inoperative.
-------------------------
# stopsrc -s syslog_ng
0513-004 The Subsystem or Group, syslog_ng, is currently inoperative.


It is not able to store correct Subsystem PID and hence does not stop the 
syslog_ng daemon
-------------------------

I am not sure if I have used correct command to register syslog_ng service 
with AIX subsystem. Grateful if anybody can help me in configuring AIX 
service manager for syslog_ng daemon.

Thanks a lot for helping me in crisis.


With Regards,

Network based services on AIX can be started in the config-file called 
/etc/rc.tcpip 

You  can simply add the startup command there: 

/usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng.conf

If I remember correctly then AIX has a service manager and you can
register syslog-ng directly with that without having a separate script.
Just be sure to use the -F option for syslog-ng to avoid it going to the
background.
