[syslog-ng] syslog-ng gets started twice when system reboots

[Xuan Zhong]

I looked both /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d, and other rcx.d directories. Only one "S" script for syslog-ng and it's symbolic link to /etc/init.d/syslog-ng. All files under rcx.d directory are symbolic links.

 

Do you know if the first occurance of "Starting syslog-ng:" or "Stopping syslog-ng:" comes from syslog-ng binary file?

 

Thanks

Xuan
