Ok. It is also in the documentation installed at /usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-*/html/. So I guess it is just an omission from the man page. Back to the OP's question, the syslog documentation seems to make it clear that it will not respawn the program to prevent DoS attacks. If you want this, you can create a shell script around the program you want to call, and handle any respawns there. A simple implementation might be: $program & pid=$! while wait $pid; do $program & pid=$! done Of course, it would be best to add in some type of abort mechanism in case $program starts dying unexpectedly, so you don't try to exec it 1000's of times per second. -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
