[SOLVED] syslogd deamon

[nuganen]

Hi,

I was wonder if it was possible for when you restart the server or if the server crashed and when the syslogd service start up it would start with the following parameters

/sbin/syslogd -m 0 -r

modify /etc/init.d/syslog
on suse can just modify /etc/sysconfig/syslog b/c that is read by the init.d script

I modded the file /etc/init.d/syslog

original
start() {
[ -x /sbin/syslogd ] || exit 5
[ -x /sbin/klogd ] || exit 5

modified to

start() {
[ -x /sbin/syslogd -m 0 -r ] || exit 5
[ -x /sbin/klogd ] || exit 5

and when i try to start the service it comes up with
/etc/init.d/syslog start
/etc/init.d/syslog: line 20: [: too many arguments

This is on Centos 5.1

you modified the test to see if there is an executable:

[ -x /sbin/syslogd ] || exit 5

somewhere after that it will actually be starting syslogd. i don't have centos but shoule be pretty obvious. if you're still struck then past the entire start() { } function.
