If ps doesn't work, there's a good chance pkill won't either. (Perhaps you just need to run kvm_mkdb and dev_mkdb to get ps working again?) Try instead (copy and paste would be easiest): kill `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid` If the box runs named (dns nameserver), restart syslogd as: syslogd -a /var/empty/dev/log -a /var/named/dev/log otherwise it's just: syslogd -a /var/empty/dev/log -- stephen
