Rainer nope. # grep -ir drop /etc/rsyslog* # I run it as root. root 26641 1 0 Dec17 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/rsyslogd -i /var/run/syslogd.pid -c 5 I've attached a debug log. It's from a host where syslog starts but does not log. ** I dont' know if this is relevant or not, but I've seen that this is happening to all machines which have a new logrotate (file for other service): # grep . /etc/logrotate.d/sge |grep -v \# /usr/share/gridengine/cluster1/common/accounting { compress missingok rotate 356 notifempty daily prerotate /usr/bin/rsync -va /usr/share/gridengine/cluster1/common/ XXXX::sge_account endscript } hosts that don't have this file have their syslog working fine. As I said, I don't know if it's related an how, cause restrting the service by hand (service rsyslog restart) does nothing... sorry about the vague question, but I'm really lost with this issue... Cheers, Arnau
