Currently, it includes a rather puzzling sentence that reads, "While syslogd is normally run from cron(8), it is not a system daemon." That statement is puzzling on two counts: one, syslogd clearly _is_ "a system daemon" by any reasonable definition: two syslogd is _not_ "run from cron(8)" in the configurations I am aware of. The fix is to substitute "newsyslog" for "syslogd" in that sentence. I am attaching a patch against a "fairly recent" checkout of docs HEAD from SVN. >Fix: --- fix begins here --- Index: en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config/chapter.xml =================================================================== --- en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config/chapter.xml (revision 44944) +++ en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config/chapter.xml (working copy) @@ -1408,7 +1408,7 @@ and signals programs when log files are moved.
