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 Franklin:

The ITRC Technical Knowledge Base (document #KBRC00001101) indictates that this occurs when multiple 'syslogd' daemons are running. To resolve, stop and (re)start the daemon:

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

Regards!

This error is usually caused by multiple syslogd daemons running at the same
time. To rectify it:

1) /sbin/init.d/syslogd stop # Stop syslogd
2) ps -ef|grep syslogd # Verify that no syslogd daemons are running
3) /sbin/init.d/syslogd start # Restart syslogd
4) ps -ef|grep syslogd # Verify only one syslogd is running.

This should fix the error message that you're getting.

JRF and Paul,
I did see multiple syslogd running and so I stopped and started it. I will keep an eye in syslog.log tomm. afternoon when client ftps the file.
Thanks to both
