Package: syslog-ng Version: 3.1.3-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The init script included in the package just checks for existence of pidfile. It does not check for validity of pid contained therein. So after a crash which leaves a pidfile behind (which can happen, and in some setups happens quite often), it's necessary to remove the stale pidfile by hand. Furthermore, the init script doesn't say "stale pidfile found - remove it", it just erroneously reports that the daemon is already running. If you're interested I can provide you with a fix in few days, when I find spare time.
