The plateform is RHEL. "> do you use by any chance the imfile module?" How could i check that ? I found your thread and it seems very similar to the issue i'm facing. I'll check that on monday. I'm currently off :) Thank you, i'll keep you updated. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/
