Hi,
the /dev/log is unix socket ... you can check it along with the process itself,
for example:
check process rsyslog with pidfile /var/run/rsyslog.pid
start program = "/etc/init.d/rsyslog start"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/rsyslog stop"
if failed unixsocket /dev/log then restart
(verify the paths to pidfile and init script are correct)
Regards,
Martin
