Hi
Yesterday i have posted and got the useful responses for my syslog question.Thanks.
If you don't think it's a silly question....
After kill -HUP syslogd(pid) ,it should show the same pid .right?
Please help
Thanks

Hi,

Yep. It means it simply re-reads the configuration instead of killing it and starting it again.

You should have seen a message "Syslogd: restart" after you did it.

Thanks.But i did not see any message like that ,Does it mean that it did not start with new config.
Thanks

Well, you may want to try again. Make sure the PID is infact the pid of syslogd.

You would see that "syslogd: restart" message in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and not in the terminal.

# kill -HUP

# tail /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
