[syslog-ng] 2 syslogng processes for the price of 1

[Manson, John]

Good Day,

I start syslog-ng, ver3.0.4, from /usr/local/sbin using the same script I run with older versions of ng on other servers but this is the first time I have seem 2 processes started.
Ng is loading the correct conf file at /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng.conf and is writing log messages to the correct log files, no duplicate entries.
Always 2 pids in sequence.
If I kill the smaller pid, 3532 in this case, the ppid of 1 takes over for 3532 and ng, 3533, runs along just fine.
Help?

Thanks

root  3532     1   0 15:09:54 pts/2       0:00 /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng -p /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.pid
root  3533  3532   0 15:09:54 ?           0:00 /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng -p /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.pid
