[syslog-ng] exitcode=6 - explanation please

[Sandor Geller]

It's in lib/gprocess.c

The supervisor process sends SIGABRT (most likely to dump core for further
analysis) and switches to SIGKILL later when the daemon is still there. I
don't see that the OSE could enter that code path so I assume you're using
PE so I'm sure the BalaBit guys will follow up with you quite soon.
