Hi all,
I have rectified this problem. Actually I was not passing '-F' argument
with 'mkssys' command, which were causing problem. Thanks to Bazsi.
Here is correct command I have used to get rid of last problem:
--------------------------------------------------------
#mkssys -p /opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/sbin/syslog-ng -s syslog_ng -u 0 -a
"-F -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
548910.
# lssrc -a |grep -i syslog_ng
syslog_ng local 548910 active
-------------------------------------------------------
Still a small probme is there with AIX stopsrc command. Here is detail:
# stopsrc -s syslog_ng
0513-044 The syslog_ng Subsystem was requested to stop.
# lssrc -a |grep -i syslog-ng
syslog_ng local 425986 stopping
It hangs on this status. I had to execute stopsrc with '-c' option to stop
syslog_ng daemon.
----------------------------------------
# stopsrc -c -s syslog_ng
0513-044 The syslog_ng Subsystem was requested to stop.
# lssrc -a |grep -i syslog
syslogd ras inoperative
syslog_ng local inoperative
-----------------------------------------
I donot know why it doesnot work with 'stopsrc -s syslog_ng' command. Do
everytime I have to pass '-c' parameter to stop syslog_ng daemon?

Re: [syslog-ng] Cannot find init.d.AIX in contrib folder
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,
Chanchal Verma

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.
