Jade Bulante — Mon, 30 Dec 2002 23:09:44 GMT

I want to kill the syslogd service and restart it. The process is stuck and I want to do I "kill -9" How do I start it back up again??

Need help.

Hi Jade,

Run it as "syslogd -D" and it will start.

Also, you can run /sbin/init.d/syslogd stop and /sbin/init.d/syslogd start

What do you mean stuck? What type of problem are you having?

I would first try:

# /sbin/init.d/syslogd stop

If that doesn't work, you could then try to kill it. I would use 'kill -9' as a last resort though.

To restart it:

# /sbin/init.d/syslogd start

Hi Jade,
You can start / stop syslogd
daemon with

/sbin/init.d/syslogd start
/sbin/init.d/syslogd stop.

Also you can directly start it with
/usr/sbin/syslogd -D.

-D allows syslogd to route the kernel messages, instead of kernel printing messages directly on console.

Srini.
