Hello Rainer, you are absolute right. openSUSE and Ubuntu use quite old versions and my version was also a little old.
New try: - Eisfair-64 3.16.68-eisfair-64-VIRT rsyslogd 8.1905.0 eis64test # rsyslogd -f /etc/rsyslog.conf -o /tmp/full_rsyslog_conf eis64test # ls -la /tmp/full_rsyslog_conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3485 Jun 13 19:39 /tmp/full_rsyslog_conf It works! Sorry, my fault. By the way: Where can I find a command line option reference on https://www.rsyslog.com/doc? Examples on https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/troubleshooting/troubleshoot.html#configuration-problems require some spaces after option -f Have a nice day.

Hi Ansgar, glad to hear from you. What you have is simply a too-old version, the -o switch is a recent addition of 8.1905.0 (2 weeks ago or so). The version you have, I think, is around 9 month old. Do you experience the same issue? That would be very interesting. Rainer
