Operating Systems AIX syslog question Post 50809 by kduffin on Monday 3rd of May 2004 08:38:49 AM

jalburger,

Are you using tabs or spaces as seperators in you syslog.conf file? You should be using tabs. If you could, attach a copy of your syslog.conf as syslog.conf.txt. Don't just copy and paste it, I'd like to be able to see the actual file.

Thanks much,

Keith

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. BUGS
