Hi,
Please find the output of the command as below :
-----------------------------------
~ # syslog-ng -Fedtv
[2019-09-26T12:20:03.417562] Unable to detect fully qualified hostname for
localhost, use_fqdn() will use the short hostname;
[2019-09-26T12:20:03.417956] Error opening configuration file;
filename='//etc/syslog-ng.conf', error='Failed to open file ▒“
//etc/syslog-ng.conf▒”: No such file or directory'
~ #
-----------------------------------
Actually the file location is different in our target system, we are
executing the command as below :
# /sbin/syslog-ng -f /tandberg/persistent/syslog-ng.conf -p
/var/run/syslog-ng.pid
-----------------------------------

Regards,
D Pal
