read funix message on syslog

[Franklin Merida]

Hi All,

I'm having repeatedly this message on syslog
syslogd: read funix: Resource temporarily unavailable
And the syslog daemon was down. Has anyone face this before.

Thank you and best regards,

Franklin

Hi,
This error is usually caused by having multiple syslogd daemons running;
$ ps -ef | grep syslog*
When multiple processes are running, confusion occurs as to which daemon needs to be writing
to the syslog file and the error occurs. To resolve this issue, stop the syslogd daemons running and restart the one daemon necessary to write output to the syslog file. Follow these steps:

$ /sbin/init.d/syslogd stop #kill all syslogd
$ ps -ef | grep syslog* #Verify no daemons running.
$ /sbin/init.d/syslogd start #Restart syslogd
$ ps -ef | grep syslog* #Verify only one syslogd running.

Then monitor the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file for these errors again. This should resolve the issue. Hopes this helps.

rgds,
janerik
