Rainer, Thank you for the response. I agree that it sounds like a system problem, not necessarily syslogd or omprog. This is an embedded system and doesn't have any selinux. I have disabled all cgroup functionality as well. Debug logging, etc. hasn't provided any clues. Given that it is the root user starting rsyslog in both cases, what is different when rsyslogd is started with the -n flag? Also with your deep understanding of omprog, do you have any tips that might help me get more insight into what is happening? Thank you, Derek
