Hi Ravi,

Restarting syslogd (should work):

# kill `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`
# /usr/sbin/syslogd -D


Later,

[Alex Glennie]

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

[Andreas Voss]

Hi,

this works also:

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

Regards

[Rainer von Bongartz]

kill syslogd
kill `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`
restart syslogd
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`

Regards
Rainer

Hi, Animesh
The answers what i got is not solving my problem. The problem is with our IBM product MQSeries.we stop the syslod deamon and start the MQSeries and syslog daemon at the same time. when we looked at MQ log file it will be empty. where as same situation in Solaris, Digital unix and AIX shows full details of MQ in its logfile. I am in touch with HP, let u know once this problem solved.

later..

Just a couple of questions:

To which facility is MQseries logging? Verify that /etc/syslog.conf has an appropriate entry.

Is MQseries using the syslog socket (udp 514) or the named pipe (/dev/log)? If syslogd is running with option -N, then it will not be listening to the socket. Also verify that /dev/log is at least chmod 622.
