Hi folks,

I'm having two questions. They are somehow related though.

#1 restart rsyslogd without sudo access
I'm trying to setup a system, a docker image to be exactly. I managed to
start rsyslogd inside docker container without sudo by changing permissions
of some relevant files, like pid and config files. However rsyslogd still
couldn't get restarted once it's started, as rsyslogd will change some
files permissions back when it's trying to get restarted. Is there anyway I
can restart rsyslogd without sudo access?

#2 use imfile wildcard support without sudo access
I need setup rsyslog to monitor some folders using wildcard as there will
be new log files generated on the fly. My understanding is rsyslog would
actually need get restarted whenever new log files are found by the monitor
before rsyslog can start fetch data from the new file(s). Is it right? Is
it possible to make imfile wildcard monitor work without restarting
rsyslogd?

Thanks a lot in advance for any input!

Regards,
Kevin
