Package: syslog-ng Version: 1.6.5-1 Severity: normal 1. ensure that syslog-ng is running 2. introduce a syntax error in syslog-ng.conf (I forgot an "or" between two match filters). 3. `/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload` does not give you any error, either a partial conf file is loaded or the reload is ignored.
Obviously the signal is one-way communication, so not sure how syslog can easy communicate problems to the user (stderr?). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages syslog-ng depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information
