with version 3+ do we really need to change the X in this option? if you run v5 with -c4 is it really going to do something different with the config file than if you use -c5?
yes, there are new config options in the newer versions, and once in a while some depriciated config options stop working, but does changing from -c3 to -c4 to -c5 actually fix any of these? in my testing I keep switching between the v4 series and the v5 series and having to change the startup to give the correct -c flag has tripped me up more than once. it would also be helpful if rsyslog would spit out errors about unknown config files (either to the console or as syslog messages) without needing to be in debug mode. it may that it tries to do this, but I don't see them (either with the debian startup scripts or when starting it directly on the command line) David Lang _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com
