So I gave 5.3.6 a try and stumbled over some rather important regressions. Compilation and installation went fine and rsyslog started up without an error message. I got one log message in the syslog Jan 15 07:39:29 pluto kernel: imklog 5.3.6, log source = /proc/kmsg started. But silence afterwards. When I tried to stop rsyslog using SIGTERM it failed, I had to use SIGTERM twice Running rsyslogd -d -c4 I got pluto:~# rsyslogd -d -c4 rsyslogd: unknown priority name "" [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/3000 ] rsyslogd: the last error occured in /etc/rsyslog.d/network-manager.conf, line 2:"~" rsyslogd: warning: selector line without actions will be discarded rsyslogd: unknown priority name "" [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/3000 ] rsyslogd: the last error occured in /etc/rsyslog.d/network-manager.conf, line 4:"~" rsyslogd: warning: selector line without actions will be discarded rsyslogd: the last error occured in /etc/rsyslog.conf, line 46:"$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf" rsyslogd: CONFIG ERROR: could not interpret master config file '/etc/rsyslog.conf'. [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2124 ] The file in question (which worked fine with 4.4.2) contains ===== :programname, contains, "NetworkManager" /var/log/NetworkManager.log ~ :programname, contains, "wpa_supplicant" /var/log/NetworkManager.log ~ ===== several issues here: first of all, the above statements no longer work. second, rsyslog can't be killed anymore with a single SIGTERM third, it shouldn't just silently fail. I neither got an error message on stdout/stderr, nor in the log file.
