.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
There are different syslog daemon implementations
|
|
|
|
|
supported as the system's syslog service, currently
|
2008-09-13 12:19:17 +02:00
|
|
|
.IR syslogd ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR syslog-ng \ and
|
|
|
|
|
.IR rsyslogd
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first installed daemon activates itself for the
|
|
|
|
|
syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2,
|
|
|
|
|
it is
|
|
|
|
|
.IR rsyslogd ,
|
|
|
|
|
before it was
|
|
|
|
|
.IR syslog-ng .
|
|
|
|
|
But this depends on the software selection during
|
|
|
|
|
the installation.

|
|
|
|
|
specified in the
|
|
|
|
|
.br

|

.BR SYSLOG_DAEMON
|
|

|
|
The \fIyast2 sysconfig\fR module provides a comfortable
|
|
|
|
|
way to switch to another installed daemon and restart
|
|
|
|
|
the service.

The
|
|
|
|
|
.BR /etc/init.d/syslog
|
|
|
|
|
init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
