I use the stable version syslog-ng-3.0.5-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm downloaded from your website. It starts/stops twice only when the system reboots. The init script is only generated once. The second "Starting syslog-ng: [ok]" was generated by init script because I modified the init script text display and only the second start changed. Not sure where the first start comes from.

 

Starting syslog-ng: Starting syslog-ng: [ok]

[ok]


 

When the system shuts down, I saw the following:

Stopping syslog-ng: Stopping syslog-ng: [ok]

[ok]


 

Similarly, only the second "Stopping syslog-ng:" comes from the syslog-ng service script.

No. The service script /etc/init.d/syslog-ng works fine.

 

Thanks
