Smells like one. I re-checked your config, I think it does not include a directive to tell the engine to persist messages on shutdown. Even if it does not do that, it should clean up the files. A debug log would be most useful. Note that the v4 engine, and more so the v5 engine, has had a number of important changes, and people only gradually begin to utilize it in practice. The past couple of month, I had comparatively few bug reports, but the past three weeks or so people tend to adopt the new features and consequently the "bug rate" goes up. This is good, as it helps iron out things, but it is also somewhat bad, because I need to prioritize work and for some bugs that means I have not to touch too many things at once. Looking forward for additional information. Rainer PS: please all keep contributing bug reports! It is really useful to have them (even better if they are timely ;)) as my lab can not cover everything practice does ;) > > TIA > -Marc > -- > Senior Consultant :: Solution Architect > IT-Security :: Free Software :: GNU/Linux > Mobile +49_151_16227402 :: Fon +49_6187_9058695 :: Fax +49_6187_900157 > MightyCare Solutions GmbH http://www.mightycare.de > Firmenangaben unter http://www.mightycare.de/#/de/impressum/ > _______________________________________________ > rsyslog mailing list > http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog > http://www.rsyslog.com _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com
