Syslog-NG at Boot (WAS: Re: cvs commit: ports/sysutils/syslog-ng Makefile distinfo pkg-plist)


might expect to talk to it. I assume you put syslogng_enable="YES" into
/etc/rc.conf? as well as syslogd_enable="NO". (Or, it might work just
to
change syslogd_program="/path/to/syslogngd" and not bother with changing
anything else).

Just to clarify, even the latest src/etc/rc.d/syslogd at:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/rc.d/syslogd?rev=1.11&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

Specially hard-codes /usr/sbin/$program as the executable, thus setting:

syslogd_program="/usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng"
syslogd_flags="-p /var/run/syslog.pid"
syslogd_enable="YES"

Has no effect at startup. It starts the system syslogd(8).

*HOWEVER*, after the boot process is complete, /etc/rc.d/syslogd begins to honor syslogd_program="" (start, stop, status).

It's very strange. Perhaps a more rc(8) compliant syslog-ng.sh.example should be packaged up?
