Ok, I am now using 1.21.1 and it is working with dynafiles. I am having one last problem though. When I let init start the daemon on startup it doesn't seem to log anything at all, no local and no remote. If I manually start it then everything works fine.

/etc/sysconfig/rsyslog:

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m0 -r514 -t514"

manual command

rsyslogd -m0 -r514 -t514


When I run it either way the output of 'ps aux' shows the same thing:

root 1879 0.0 0.1 14796 1156 ? Ssl 19:49 0:02 rsyslogd -m0 -r514 -t514

I'm not quite sure how to debug this since when it gets started by init it won't log anything so -d mode won't work.

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

I have to admit I do not have a clue what it may be. Maybe it should not auto-background (-n, if I remember correct).

Anyone else?

When I add -n to the /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog options it hangs on startup at:

Starting system logger (rsyslog): _

...which proves the point that I am obviously not a system wizard on Linux any longer

If nobody else comes up with a solution here, I suggest you post in one of your distro's forums. IF there are rsyslog-specific questions, post the link here and I will participate.
