HP Syslog daemon isn't working
Hi All,

I've tried starting syslogd on our hp-ux 11.31 server. However, it is not getting started nor it is updating the syslog file.

There is no space issue also. However, the mail.log file is approx 2GB, can that be of any issue. Please find the details below:

Code:
# /sbin/init.d/syslogd start
System message logger started

# ps -ef | grep -i syslog
    root 21517 20122  0 13:46:03 pts/8     0:00 grep -i syslog

# date
Sun Sep 15 13:49:01 IST 2013

# ls -ld /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys            135 Sep 15 13:43 /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Can anybody help on this.

syslog

SYSLOG(8)							  System Logging							 SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
