[gentoo-user] syslog-ng can't be removed by rc-update
I recently decided to use sysklogd instead of syslog-ng. But the command rc-update del syslog-ng default will not remove the file from /etc/init.d. Is it safe to just delete the file manually? Or is this file needed by sysklogd or something else? Thanks, Rob. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

But the command rc-update del syslog-ng default will not remove the file from /etc/init.d. rc-update del syslog-ng default just removes the link from /etc/runlevels/default; that's the directory that determines which services to start at system boot time. Is it safe to remove manually from /etc/init.d? Yeah, sure, I guess. But the gentoo way would be to emerge -C syslog-ng and let emerge remove the files as it will drop all of the component pieces and not try to keep emerging updates when they come out. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
