Bug Description
Binary package hint: sysklogd
there is a bug in the init-script for sysklogd. any arguments passed via the variable SYSLOGD at the beginning of the script are not recognized. I tried to start syslog with logging:
SYSLOGD="-r -u syslog"
and then restarted syslog. A ps -aux gave me this result:
root@fmeisterwk
root 11416 0.0 0.0 1652 616 ? Ss 10:28 0:00 /sbin/syslogd
root 11461 0.0 0.0 2796 756 pts/7 S+ 10:29 0:00 grep sysl
_no_ arguments. So I searched for the problem. I think it's some variable problem. If I rename every occurence of SYSLOGD into MYSYSLOGD in the init-script everything works fine.

To post a comment you must log in.
Where is it documented that you can pass the variable into the script?
If you want to change the arguments, EDIT the script and change the SYSLOGD variable definition near the top
