syslogd restart

[SILVERSTAR]

Hi,

in case the syslogd is killed, is there any features on HP-UX 11.11 that restarts the deamon automatically ?

No, you have to restart it manually.

Hi Angelo,

You have to restart it manually with

/sbin/init.d/syslogd start

Shalom Angelo,

You can write a script that checks if syslog is running or not and then restart it if its found not to be running.

Here is the script guts.


export UNIX95=1
syslrun=$(ps -C syslogd)

if [ $syslrun -eq 0 ]
then
/sbin/init.d/syslogd start
rc=$?
if [ $rc -ne 0 ]
then
# email someone
fi
fi


This code can be part of a serviceguard monitor or you can write your own daemon.

Its a lot of work writing this, versus just manually restarting, but you can, if you wish acheive your goal.

Hi,

thanks for the prompt answer.
Is there any way to have two different conf file or two different syslogd ?

thanks

You can have any number of config files and simply specify which you wish to use when you startup syslogd. The -f option specifies the config file - see the man page for syslogd.
