Question: the child tells the parent process via kill () when it is ready.
Otherwise, the parent waits -i guess- 5 minutes before it terminates. May
be there is something that prevents kill from working properly (privilege
drop?).
Sent from phone, thus brief.

For those trying to get this working on CentOS 5, I have found a
workaround.
The problem is clearly an issue between the 'daemon' function and
rsyslogd
so I looked for alternatives to using daemon. I installed the 'daemonize'
package from EPEL and, after some messing around with parameters, I
found a
combination that works.
Install the daemonize package and change the line in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rsyslog that says:
daemon --pidfile="${PIDFILE}" $exec -i "${PIDFILE}" $SYSLOGD_OPTIONS
to:
daemonize -p "${PIDFILE}" $exec -i "${PIDFILE}" -n $SYSLOGD_OPTIONS
On my system at least start,stop and restart all work with that change in
place.
I know it doesn't solve the underlying problem, but at least it works!!
Cheers
Andy
