Hi, Rainer: thanks for your reply. Tried without auto-backgrounding, here is the proccesses I see: root 14814 14131 0 10:43 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /sbin/service rsyslog start root 14819 14814 0 10:43 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/bash /etc/init.d/rsyslog start root 14822 14819 0 10:43 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/bash -c ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 ; /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -c 6 -n <PrivDropToUser> 14823 14822 0 10:43 pts/0 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -c 6 -n
Now it doesn't seem to timeout and kill the motherproccess...:-) ! Only thing is it doesn't return after: # service rsyslog start I have tried adding "&" to /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog: SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-c 6 -n &" but again this kill the motherproccess... and my guess is the root-owned motherproccess should continue to be there - right ? Any idea how to implement this properly ?
