Bug ID: 232838
Summary: syslogd(8) should auto-reload config files when they
change
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: misc
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: y...@freebsd.org
Currently syslogd(8) doesn't reload its config files when they change.
Reasons for the change:
1. When new packages are installed and place new config files, these files
aren't automatically enabled which can always be used as an argument against
even using such config files, like it was done in this bug: bug#232813.
2. newsyslog(8) does automatically reload its configuration when it changes,
but syslogd(8) doesn't, which isn't logical because they work in the same field
(manage logs).
So it appears that it would be much more natural and convenient if syslog(8)
would auto-load/unload config files when they are added/installed/uninstalled.
