Hello Rainer, We run it only with -d. I'll try to run it with -dn as you suggest, and I'll come back to the mailing list :)
Then, I'll try after that to run it under valgrind as per your second suggestion. Also, I've seen that when I stop rsyslog using the famous well known command service rsyslog stop (version 7.2.6-2 now), it seems it's not properly closing the database connections because from time to time, I've this SQL error in the pg_log directory: LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection with an open transaction I should probably fill a bug request, no? I come back to you at least with the output of rsyslog -dn Thanks a lot for your suggestions Rainer.
